VAASTU EXPERTS CRITICIZE NEW ROOF AT SABARIMALA
Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram: A section of Vaastu Shastra experts have criticized the new roof at the Sabarimala Temple here.
The semi-permanent roofing front of the sanctum sanctorum that covers the view of the flag post has irked a section of devotees as well as Vaastu experts.
" A flag post is an important source of energy in a temple and its visibility to devotees is very important. Also, the new roof will prevent sun rays from touching the 18 sacred steps. " said K . Muraleedharan Nair, President, Vaastu Shastra V
igjana Peedam.
Nair, who submitted a Vaastu master plan for Sabarimala, is agitated that the Travancore Devaswom Board went ahead with the construction with out consulting experts. The practice so far had been that on the days when "padipuja" was held, a temporary roof was erected to cover the premises.
It was to facilitate the smooth conduct of padi puja which is not a daily ritual. however, the TDB decided to construct a permanent roof when a devotee promised to bear the expenses.
"It is irregular that at an age when there are many options for temporary roofing, the Board has opted for a permanent structure"., said Nair.
But, Sabarimala Chief Commissioner and Chief Secretary K Jayakumar has said that no permanent structure was placed above the flat post. "It is semi-permanent. Earlier, there were controversies regarding this. But it is a closed chapter now", he said
