Palani: In a heartwarming display of community support, over 1,300 people gathered in Dindigul, Tamil Nadu, to partake in a traditional ‘Moi Virundhu’ ceremony aimed at raising funds for victims of the recent landslides in Wayanad. The event was organised by K. Mujeeb Rahman, the proprietor of a local biryani hotel.

The ‘Moi Virundhu’ is a communal feast where attendees make donations, traditionally placed under a banana leaf or in a designated collection box. Rahman hosted this ‘Moi Virundhu’ to pool resources for those affected by the Wayanad landslide disaster.
