On Christmas Day, around 58 persons, most of them belonging to chirstian families, embrace Hinduism at two temples in Kottayam district under the initiative of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP).

According to VHP District President, Balachandran Pillai, at least 42 members belonging to 20 families embraced Hinduism at the Puthiyakavu Devi temple in Ponkunnam. 16 others were converted in another function at the Thirunakara Sri Krishna Swamy temple in Thirunakara.

One of the person who converted is said to be a Muslim.

Pillai said those who had converted had come on their own from Vaikom, Kumarakkam and Kanjirapally. Similar functions are being held at various places.

Yesterday, 11 persons had embraced Hinduism near Kayamkulam in Alappuzha district in yet another case of conversion since the last week in the state.
