Modi’s mundu mistake: On his first trip to Kerala after swearing in for the second time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi prayed at the famous Guruvayur Temple in Thrissur. He looked the part, wearing the customary white mundu, but there was a hitch. He had tied it to the left; Hindus and Christians in the state tie it to the right. Notably, he had done so earlier, too, during his visit to the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram. Both temples are known for their rigid restrictions on attire. Though many had noticed the mistake at Guruvayur, no one had the nerve to point it out. Who could blame them? | Illustrations by Jairaj T.G.

Raj without Bhavan: No, Sushma Swaraj has not been named Andhra Pradesh governor. The confusion arose when Union Minister Harsh Vardhan sent her a congratulatory tweet, which was deleted later. The home ministry later clarified that there was no such appointment. However, for that brief period, officials in the Telugu states were a worried lot. They had no problem with Swaraj; their concern was over the absence of a Raj Bhavan in Andhra Pradesh. Currently, the governor of the two states stays in a five-star hotel whenever he visits Vijayawada. Also, none of the government bungalows in and around the city are fit enough to be the governor’s residence. The question in Andhra, therefore, is not who will be governor, but where will he or she stay.
