Temple priests have pointed out that these expenditures can never be called unnecessary, and are part of every temple ritual.
The Devaswom Department of the Kerala government has stated in an order to the Malabar Devaswom Board (MDB) that the expenditure for temple festivals, offerings to deities and priests (donations by devotees) are ‘unnecessary’, and ought to be reduced or stopped altogether.
The MDB was established by the state, and administers more than 1,000 temples across six districts in the northern Malabar region of Kerala.
