Jayathirtha, the Palace Board has made a large number of objections.

Jayathirtha said Achar and Pawan only slept in the temple at night.

Under the constant neglect of the relevant authorities, the cracks in the temple structure expanded over the years and a part of the structure leaned over, and gave the impression that the structure was shifted. Also, the cracks took a long time. However, Jayathirt said, neden Why didn’t the authorities take action for the structure of the castle wall? ”

“Could be, the fact that the temple is a special property, did not leave the attention to restore it?” He suspected.

When the communication was established, the Deputy Director provided action from the Subraancea Palace Board and said, ık We wanted the Reverend family to start repair/restoration. ” He refused to comment more.

Meanwhile, Jayathirtha Achar learned that the restoration work from the reliable sources in the Palace Board can be taken after the Dasara festivals.
