Shashi Tharoor is undoubtedly one of the most famous politicians of India and he is pretty active on the social media networks as well. Most of the times, the Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, is in news for his exemplary English vocabulary but recently he made headlines because of his photos in which he is seen breaking a coconut in a temple while celebrating the festival of Onam.
Shashi Tharoor himself informed his followers about how he celebrated Onam by posting a tweet with few photos. His tweet read, “And then offered a ‘Niramala’ at the Elevanchery Bhagavathy Kshetram a few minutes from my ancestral home (where I also smashed a ritual coconut & prayed to the Naga gods worshipped by all Nairs). #Onam blessings to all especially those suffering in these troubled times.”

In one of the photos, the politician is seen smashing a coconut on the floor and this pic is liked by creative people so much that they turn it into a viral meme soon.
Shashi Tharoor himself shared some of the memes which he liked and it’s indeed creditable on his part to take it on a light note instead of getting offended:
There are many of these memes going around using the pic of me ritually smashing a coconut. I don’t know who dreams them up by they are often very funny. This one is one of my favourites: pic.twitter.com/yGk0LWz1TR
