With agony.
ReplyDeleteIt is very pity to inform both the Travancore Devaswom BoaRD and the temple authority for the following reasons
1.No way to get the landphone number of the famous temple.
2.Website with a fake mobile number of the Secretary.
3.Unawareness about the temple rituals by the festival committee officiaLS.
4.sub-standerd level communication with the peple who enquires about the festival 2016,by the festival committee officials-2016.[Moreover they are not attending calls.]
5.No proper rely to queries towards devotees from far places.
6.Poor updation of the website.
I am very much sorry to say these things because I am a native of NEYYATTINKARA WORKING at Malappuram.
