THE VADAKKUNNATHAN TEMPLE |
|
The
administration of the temple now rests with the Assistant Commissioner under the Cochin
Devaswom Board. Originally after the consecration of the various deities, Parasurama
brought a Brahmin family from a place on the bank of the Krishna River. The head of this
family called 'Yogathiri' looked after the temple. Later the ruler of the erstwhile Cochin
State took over the administration. The Kerala Land Reforms Bill has affected this temple
also, the quality of Naivedyam having to be drastically cut in recent years. It is
however, encouraging that the temple is attracting more -and more visitors daily and the
cash offerings from the devotees are also going up correspondingly.
