Temple Administration

he present administration of the temple is vested with the Renovation Committee elected from time to time among the general body of worshippers in Kannur and Kasargod districts of Kerala.  A very efficient and sincere set of people are there in the Committee to effectively conduct the administration and daily routines of the temple to the entire satisfaction of the worshippers.  All those coming to visit the temple are given light refreshments also.  Now Temple Committee is facing a threat of take over by Devasam Board of Kerala Govt.  As this will impede the progress of the temple, the Temple Committee and local devotees are strongly fighting against their take over.  Now the present Secretary of Temple is P.V.Narayanan Master (Vengara) and the President is M.P. Bhaskaran Nair.
