TIRUVANANTHAPURAM

The priests attach supreme significance to every item of the rites observed from start to finish. They appear conservative in several of their practices, but seen through the eyes of traditional purists, they are justified. Modernity is totally banished from the precincts of the holy temple. The entire atmosphere starts breathing antiquity and orthodoxy from the very moment opening of temple doors to the closing. 

Certainly, modernity feels irked at certain traditions like admission of males with dhoti's and bare chest, yet the antiquity shirks - not its rigidity, nor thinks of introducing any flexibility, even in the case of the highest ruling authority, if he visits for Darshan. As nothing is hate-worthy in the general scheme of creation, respecting the traditions alone paves the way for harmonious kinship and exemplary bliss between the visitors and the authorities.

Endure it! And get emancipated!!
