💨 Abstract

Tamil Nadu's Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department is implementing a QR code-based security system to prevent idol thefts from temples. The system, which maps all idols, aims to facilitate prompt identification and recovery of missing idols. The process is expected to be completed in six months. This measure is one of several precautions taken by the government to curb idol smuggling following a review meeting by the Chief Minister.
