I have read your article regarding the destruction of aesthetic beauty of Sree Mandira , its very sad to see the present condition of singhadwara , the dasavatar idols and sakhi idols are removed , the jaya vijaya idols are also removed and the chura is painted in terrible colours , the condition of snan mandapa is also pathetic ,if one compares the present pic with previous one can observe the difference, previously many trees can be seen behind it ,which made it look divine ,but now only ugly metal shade and metals rods can be seen. taking about the main temple, the natamandira is unclean , with dusty pillars , pattachitra covered in pigeon droppings ,several pigeons on the celling and cats trying to catch one, the temple authorities must at least ensure the temple's cleanliness .
