Your report from the Head Priest of Guruvayur temple is convincing on punyaham. The Minister, his son and the Media are spoiling their time instead of using it for more public service. There is no harm for temples maintaining their old practices, so long it will not effect public. I THINK VIPs SHALL BE BARRED FROM ENTERING THE TEMPLES that waste Public time and energy who wait in Ques for Darshan of their Almighty. This will avoid all nonsensical reactions from them later. They must understand that before the Almighty everybody is same and no VIP distinction before him.
