SC notice to Kerala temple committee over discontinuation of ritual

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to examine a plea against the Kerala High Court order in favour of the administration of the Guruvayur Sri Krishna temple in the state which decided to discontinue the ancient ritual of "udayasthamana pooja" on ekadasi. A bench of Justices J K Maheshwari and Rajesh Bindal issued the notice to the Guruvayur Devaswom Managing Committee, Kerala government and others on the plea against the December 7 order. The temple administration recently decided not to conduct the ritual on ekadasi, citing difficulties over crowd management and the desire to allow more devotees time for darshan. The top court was hearing a plea filed by P C Harry and other members of the family with priestly rights in the shrine, contending that "ekadashi" was the most important festival of the temple and while it was an admitted fact that the age-old udayasthamana pooja was being conducted since 1972 on ekadasi day, in reality it was being performed from even before.
