Hello
The accused, Melepottikkayil P K Prakashan (46) and Vazhayil V Shameer (34) are natives of Adivaram.
The Deputy CM said 'Shatru Bhairavi Yaga' was performed near Rajarajeshwari temple in Kerala and that 21 goats, three buffaloes, 21 black sheep and five pigs were sacrificed and Aghoris were consulted.
Devotees are required to book their 'darshan' slots through the virtual queue system.
A case has been registered on the direction of the Child Rights commission.
Action was initiated against the parents of the child, natives of Pathanapuram, and also against the temple administration.
The police have lodged a case suo motu against the ‘Thookkakaran' following the incident on Saturday night.
Every year believers visit holy places to perform the rites known as ‘bali tharpanam’ to propitiate the dead souls.
The feared and revered god is often invoked by devotees when they get into trouble with police and court.
After COVID struck, 'kalamezhuthu' was forgotten. Temples were closed and the faithful, even when they felt the need to appease the snake gods, could not summon performers to sing for them.
'Pilleronam' is yet another tradition that is fading away in this fast paced life. What was it?
