In December 2021, another temple built by a 41-year-old man for his parents in Tirupur made news. The man built the temple on two acres of agricultural land and conducted a Kumbabishekam, a festival that marks the inauguration of the temple, in Tirupur.
The man, Ramesh Kumar, lost his father NR Marimuthu in 1991 and his mother 10 years later in 2001. However, he could not accept the loss and hence he decided to construct a temple as a mark of their remembrance. In 2018, he bought agricultural land for 2 acres and the construction was completed in 2019. The festival was inaugurated in a grand manner after the pandemic in 2021.
