Purohit "contributed Rs 25,000 by Demand Draft towards the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund," the Raj Bhavan said.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister K Palaniswami appealed for "generous" public donations towards the Fund.
Such generous donations would benefit kin of defence personnel killed in war, those injured in war and ex-service men suffering from various ailments, he said in a statement.
The people of the state had always done exceedingly well in donating towards the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund, he added.
