The Kerala High Court on Tuesday directed the administrative committee of the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple in Thiruvananthapuram to submit a report on the reconstruction works carried out at the temple after the Chief Tantri (head priest) submitted a note regarding the defects in the principal idol of the temple.
The note was submitted before a Division Bench of Justice Devan Ramachandran and Justice M.B. Snehalatha.
The head priest, in his note, submitted that he does not find deficiency in the main idol as indicated by an expert committee in 2018.
He emphasised the need to reconstruct the Sreekovil (sanctum sanctorum) roof and the idol of Vishwaksenan. He further informed the court that another inspection is scheduled at the temple on October 12 and 13.
