History of temple found in excavation According to local Hindu organizations members and churches, on February 4, when the excavation was going on for the cultivation of Kasava (Tapioka) on 1.8 acres of land, the remains of the ancient temple including Shivling were found. This land is located about one kilometer from Sri Vanadurga Bhagwati Temple in Vellappadu.
According to The Indian Express, the temple was destroyed 100 years ago. Earlier this land was owned by a Brahmin family, but over time came to the Catholic Church. After finding the remains of the temple, there was a discussion between local Hindu organizations and church officials.
According to the 2011 population, Kerala has 64.11 lakh Christian population.
Chancellor of Palai Diocese said- will always be a loving behavior with the Hindu community Vinod KS, member of Shri Vanadurga Bhagwati Temple Committee, said, the remains of the temple were found on 4 February. Two days later, when the local people lit the lamp there, we came to know about it. We immediately approached the priests of Palai’s Bishop House. The priests allowed Hindu rituals.
At the same time, Palai Diocese Chancellor Father Joseph Kuttiyankal also confirmed the foundation of the temple and said- We have a cordial relationship with the Hindu community and will maintain it. Our view on their demands will always be loving.
Advocate Rajesh Palat, president of the Hindu Mahasanghham, Meenachil (Palai), praised the church’s decision, saying that we are overwhelmed by the attitude of the church. Our ancestors always told that there was a temple here. it The land was earlier with a Brahmin family. The temple was destroyed about a century ago and this property reached the Hindus to Christians and then the Palai Diocese was found.
What will happen next? At present, the temple committee is refraining from claiming the land so that no dispute arises. However, after Devaprashanam, an important decision can be taken regarding the religious nature of this place in the future. The permission of Hindu religious rituals on church land in Kerala is being seen as communal harmony.
