'Pooja Is For Deity, How Can It Be Stopped For Public Convenience?' : Supreme Court Issues Notice To Guruvayoor Temple Dewaswom

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued notice in a plea challenging the decision of the Guruvayoor Sri Krishna Temple administration not to conduct 'Udayasthamana Pooja' on Vrishchikam Ekadasi day, citing public convenience. The petitioners wanted the pooja to happen today from 6 AM, however, no pooja was conducted as the Kerala High Court had upheld the management's decision. Prima facie we are satisfied.” Justice Maheshwari noted that before the High Court, the petitioners and the intervenors contended that Udayasthamana Pooja on the Ekadasi day of Vrishchikam is conducted to increase the divinity of the deity, which is a religious practice followed in the temple for time immemorial. The High Court said that the question of whether the performance of Udayasthamana Pooja in Guruvayur Sree Krishna Temple on Vrishchikam Ekadasi on the Shuklapaksham day is part of the temple traditions or an offering, is a disputed question of facts.
