BUT PL...TRUE, it is a great but neglected temple. <br /><br />BUT PLEASE DONT BLAME Kalakad Bhakthar Peravai or the Localites for any problem that you might have faced. <br /><br />Govt which has sucked all the funds and a lot of agricultural fields from the temple, is supposed to maintain the temple. Verify what they are doing!<br /><br />2011 Kumbabhishekam was carried out by the Peravai. After that also every year the annual Kumbabhishekam day is celebrated by Peravai only, from the collections saved.<br /><br />I request you to participate in the 2023 Kumbabhishekam that hopefully will be performed by the same Peravi, and get Blessed, and see for yourself how the govt prints invitations as if it is conducting the function. Also using RTI find out how much govt spends for the function<br /><br />Even during the year 2000 a few individuals took the initiative and after struggling a lot, using funds collected from the locals, Kumbabhishekam was carried out. Govt's behaviour was no different. Sadly as the required funds could not be fully mobilised, the mejestic Rajagopuram that you might have seen during your visit to this holy temple, was left to wait till 2011 for getting a facelift, if I can use that word!<br /><br />Why nothing was done after 1935, is a BILLLION dollar question<br /><br />Since you seem to have visited the temple, please add your comment, whether the govt is right to have ONLY ONE PUJARI for such a big, HUGE temple? <br /><br />That too for a very little remuneration? Naturally he has to live a family life for which he needs money. <br /><br />Like all other GOVT employees is he being taken care of by the govt?Sankarasubramanian Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577908144652995932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868656117289040082.post-66821870080093767562018-08-17T17:00:32.227+05:302018-08-17T17:00:32.227+05:30Though the Periya Koil in Kalakad is beautiful and...<br />Though the Periya Koil in Kalakad is beautiful and precious heritage property, it is presently not being maintained well. The Kalakad Bhaktar Peravai collected money to refurbish the temple. This was a commendable job. However, presently the temple is not being maintained well. The priest who is presently serving the temple (as on 2018) is more interested in money than service to God Satyavageeswarar and Goddess Gomathi amman. This is a sad state of affairs my friends. The Bhaktar Peravai seems to have lost steam. The priest doesn't issue any receipts; charges anything that comes to his mind for abhisekams and you are disgusted by the avarice! God does not deserve this! Localites are hell bent on sucking your blood through charity that they expect from you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
