They are physical beings that have been stimulated to vibrate in a specific way, causing them to affect everything in their environment. Agama Shastra, a tantric scientific approach that has been perfected over millennia, governs the entire notion and science of idols and their management. The statue, as well as the entire temple, becomes a vibrating body that can affect anyone who is in close proximity to it. This practice of energizing idols was traditionally known as \u201cPrana Prathishta\u201d, literally meaning Establishment of the Lifeforce in the idol. In English, although not completely consistent, we could use the word consecration for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Idol, in the eyes of law, is a legal entity. A legal entity can sue as well as be sued. Therefore, there are legal consequences attached when someone breaks or either attempts to break an idol.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_47_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"ez-toc-toggle-icon-1\"><label for=\"item-6a2231b8cdf4c\" aria-label=\"Table of Content\"><span style=\"display: flex;align-items: center;width: 35px;height: 30px;justify-content: center;direction:ltr;\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/label><input  type=\"checkbox\" id=\"item-6a2231b8cdf4c\"><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3'><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/lexforti.com\/legal-news\/legal-consequences-of-breaking-idols-in-temples\/#Legal_Status_of_an_Effigy\" title=\"Legal Status of an Effigy\">Legal Status of an Effigy<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/lexforti.com\/legal-news\/legal-consequences-of-breaking-idols-in-temples\/#Legal_Consequences_when_a_person_Defames_the_EffigyReligion\" title=\"Legal Consequences when a person Defames the Effigy\/Religion\">Legal Consequences when a person Defames the Effigy\/Religion<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/lexforti.com\/legal-news\/legal-consequences-of-breaking-idols-in-temples\/#Idol_Wing_of_Tamil_Nadu_Police\" title=\"Idol Wing of Tamil Nadu Police\">Idol Wing of Tamil Nadu Police<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/lexforti.com\/legal-news\/legal-consequences-of-breaking-idols-in-temples\/#Who_Can_File_a_Case\" title=\"Who Can File a Case?\">Who Can File a Case?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/lexforti.com\/legal-news\/legal-consequences-of-breaking-idols-in-temples\/#Recent_Judgements\" title=\"Recent Judgements\">Recent Judgements<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legal_Status_of_an_Effigy\"><\/span>Legal Status of an Effigy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the Indian Judicial system, Idols have been given the status of a legal person.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Section 295 of the Indian Penal Code clearly lays down that, when a person destroys, damages, or defiles any place of worship or objects of worship held sacred, that is an Idol, will be punished with imprisonment which may extend to two years along with a fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legal_Consequences_when_a_person_Defames_the_EffigyReligion\"><\/span>Legal Consequences when a person Defames the Effigy\/Religion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Section 295 A of the IPC addresses situations in which someone intentionally does something that offends a group&#8217;s religious feelings by insulting its religious beliefs.
