Are not the ways of
God mysterious? Does He reveal easily when and where lies the
fortune of mankind? No! Certainly Not. If he reveals, He is not God,
nor mankind venerates that kind of God-head. Renovation taken up
then gave face lift to many portions faded or fading. All was over
with pacificator rites on one fine morning in 1961 AD. Alas! The,
same night Eire-god for some unknown reason swallowed the major
portion. Images were; somehow saved from divesting conflagration.
God proved that his acts cannot be discerned easily.
Later,
renovation work was undertaken, but the arc could not make full
circle; for the towers etc are yet to be completed. God alone knows
when they will be up again! Now the temple is under the
administrative control of Cochin Devaswom Board, peering as it were
into the hearts of visiting devotees to making it appear
majestically with its gopurams. When will that auspicious moment
dawn?
