Hi Lavanyaji,
I'm new to this chatterati and have been infused into this primarily by Goks a.k.a Gokul Raman,who happens to be a long time pal of mine....
I was drawn to your comments about the Kerala Temples as I'm from Trivandrum, thanks for the appreciation...
But if you would have interacted with the plebeians there, you would come to know one sorry state viz; the utter disregard shown by the TamilNadu Govt in maintaining the temples in Kanyakumari District which were once part of Kerala..there was this program in Asianet about this...Imagine a temple sweeper being paid Rs.60 per month for the past 35 years...spare a tear for them.
I do not think the massive temples in Suchindram and Thiruvattar (make haste if you have not been there!!) would be as clean as they are now after a few years...when these 70-something workers pass away and youngsters take their place...
As for the Padmanabhapuram palace it is being pampered by the Travancore Royalty and so it is in safe hands..{touch-wood}...for now
I am settled in Chennai for the past 7 years and initially was appalled by the state of the temples in TamilNadu like Madurai,Palani and why....the ones in Mylapore and Vadapalani...
This needs a thought from WCFC I guess..one more leaf to the gargantuan pile of issues that Chennai faces!!!
Let's Keep the Faith
Cheers
