Shashi Tharoor Memes: Which One is the Congressman's Favourite From the Lot?
Shashi Tharoor, dressed in a yellow kurta and white mundu, cracking a coconut at a Kerala temple, has become a viral meme.
After netizens chose to artistically crop the Thiruvananthapuram MP into numerous settings, Shashi Tharoor's Onam celebration photographs appear to have become the newest meme craze on social media. Tharoor quickly joined in the fun, retweeting his favourite tweets.
Tharoor, dressed in a yellow kurta and white mundu, broke a coconut at a temple in Kerala, according to one of the numerous photographs posted by the politician. "Offered a ‘Niramala’ at the Elevanchery Bhagavathy Kshetram, a few minutes from my ancestral home (where I also smashed a ritual coconut and prayed to the Naga gods worshipped by all Nairs). Onam blessings to all, especially those suffering in these troubled times," Tharoor said alongside the photos on Twitter.
