EXPOSED! Kerala government spent Rs 13 lakh to invite Lionel Messi, now he's not coming
Argentina's Lionel Messi reacts during a qualifying soccer match against Colombia for the FIFA World Cup 2026 at the Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Tuesday, June 10, 2025. (AP Photo/Gustavo Garello) The Kerala government spent Rs 13 lakh on Sports Minister V. Abdurahiman's trip to Spain in September 2024 to invite football legend Lionel Messi , contradicting earlier claims that no public money would be used. The minister, accompanied by the Sports Department Secretary and Director of Sports and Youth Affairs, had previously stated it would not cost "even a single rupee" to invite Messi. Minister Abdurahiman recently confirmed that the Argentine national team, led by Messi, would not be visiting Kerala . The team cited travel difficulties during October, the only month the sponsor was willing to host the event. The minister had earlier announced that the team would likely visit in October or November . He stated they would be treated as state guests, with the government covering security, accommodation, and logistics. Argentina's national team enjoys massive support in Kerala's Malappuram and Kozhikode districts. This support intensified after Messi led Argentina to victory in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Abdurahiman, who hails from Malappuram, had been actively working to bring Messi to Kerala . Sources suggest political motivations behind these efforts , with local body elections scheduled for December and assembly elections for 140 members of the Kerala Legislative Assembly due in April-May next year. The revelation of the minister's Spain trip expenses has drawn criticism from opposition parties. Both the Congress-led UDF and BJP-led NDA have accused the Pinarayi Vijayan government of engaging in publicity stunts and misleading the public.

India's oldest temple is in Bihar where prayers are being offered since 2000 years
CREDIT: Nestled amid Bihar's Kaimur district, on top of a lone hill covered by jungle, stands the Maa Mundeshwari Devi Temple, claimed to be India's oldest functional temple as per Bihar Government's tourism website. Dating back to 108 CE, the temple has witnessed centuries of invasions, natural deterioration, and dynastic transitions. Yet, no spark of belief ever diminished here. Even when time eroded its form and covered its stones with moss, ceremonies were still conducted. For pilgrims and villagers, it's more than a temple; it's a living, breathing example that never ceased. The Goddess and the four-faced Shiva statue CREDIT: Differing from the majority of temples where a single deity is the focus, Mundeshwari worships both Goddess Durga (Mundeshwari) and Lord Shiva, who is worshipped here in his uncommon Chaturmukha (four-faced) lingam incarnation. This coexistence of Shakti and Shiva worship in one shrine is an icon of harmony and divine feminine and masculine power in perfect equilibrium. The goddess is seated on a lotus, serene yet powerful, whereas Shiva's lingam is oriented in four directions, blessing the world. A shape that goes beyond tradition Step inside the temple, and feel the divine power of the temple. That's because this shrine has an octagonal shape, a shape that is not common in Hindu architecture. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Man Saves Pennies For 45 Years, Then Realizes What They're Worth Undo The majority of temples are based on square or circular designs, conforming to ancient Vastu principles. But of the eight sides here, each is representative of a broader cosmology, perhaps the preserve of tantric practices or trials of early temple design. Constructed in Nagara architecture, the temple boasts meticulously carved pillars, lattice windows, and carvings of river deities, dwarapalas, and star beings-all worn smooth by centuries but expressive to the core. The famous bloodless goat sacrifice One of the most compelling ceremonies at Mundeshwari is its goat sacrifice without bloodshed. That's right, read it again!. Each year, goats are taken to the temple in time for special festivals. But rather than being slaughtered, they are ritually offered to the goddess. The priest recites sacred mantras, makes offerings of rice and flowers, and the goat is lightly touched on the head with a ritual knife. Strangely, many of the goats will reportedly swoon or temporarily lose consciousness, only to recover moments later. Locals believe this is the goddess accepting the offering without bloodshed, a rare form of sacrifice that blends devotion with compassion. Living through time immemorial Despite its age, the Mundeshwari temple has never fallen into complete ruin. Even during British surveys in the 19th century, it was found standing—weathered, yes, but alive with prayer. Although sections of the original shikhara (spire) were lost with time, every effort was made to retain its structure in the form of flat stone roofing. The latest conservation efforts have served to sustain its sacred shape, but actual preservation has always been in the hands of people who never stopped praying here. Villagers for centuries have ascended the 600-foot hill, bearing offerings and prayers, so the goddess is never left alone.
