Karthik, a Rajinikanth fan from Madurai, celebrated Tamil New Year in a unique way by honoring the superstar at a temple he built within his residence.
The temple, which was inaugurated a few months ago, features a 300 kg idol of the actor and stands as a testament to Karthik's devotion.
Karthik, who regards Rajinikanth as a God, celebrated the Tamil New Year festival with his family members in the temple. The space has become a shrine dedicated to the actor, highlighting the massive admiration and love Rajinikanth commands across the country.
Rajinikanth is one of the most versatile actors in India. He has a massive following all over the country. Karthik built a temple for Rajinikanth at his house in Madurai. The actor's fan, Karthi, converted a part of his house into a temple for Rajinikanth and dedicated it to the actor. The temple has Rajinikanth's idol, weighing 300 kg.
Puthandu, commonly known as Tamil New Year, is being celebrated on April 14, 2025.
"A few months ago, Rajinikanth invited us, and we had the opportunity to meet him in person. He gave us many gifts.We will continue to worship him," he said.

Wow, this is next level fandom! 😠I love Rajini sir too but building a temple is dedication beyond measure. Happy Puthandu to Karthik and his family! #ThalaivarForever
While I admire Rajinikanth's work, I think building temples for actors might be taking celebrity worship too far. There are real heroes in our society who deserve this kind of recognition.
The 300kg idol must be incredible to see in person! Would love to visit this temple someday. Rajini sir has inspired so many people through his movies and life philosophy.
As a fellow Madurai resident, I've heard about this temple! Karthik's devotion is inspiring, though I wonder what his neighbors think about having a celebrity shrine next door 😄
This is the kind of wholesome content I needed today! Celebrating New Year with family in a space dedicated to your idol sounds perfect. Wishing everyone a prosperous Tamil New Year!
The fact that Rajinikanth himself invited them and gave gifts shows how humble he is despite his stardom. True legend! ðŸ™
