Sabarimala Thiruvonam Sadya: Devaswom Board Rejects False Allegations
Sabarimala: Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) President K. Jayakumar has dismissed as completely false reports claiming that devotees were not served the traditional Thiruvonam feast at Sabarimala.
He urged devotees not to be misled by false propaganda.
Jayakumar said the claim that the feast was restricted to employees and police personnel on duty was untrue. He stated that a traditional Thiruvonam feast was served to around 3,000 people who were present at Sannidhanam on the day.
He also pointed out that, for the first time in the temple's history, the TDB arranged the Thiruvonam feast entirely at its own expense, without sponsors or any form of collection. He added that many people had shared positive feedback about the arrangements.
