We consider this deity as our ‘Kula Deviam’. Hence we have been going to this temple almost regularly every year to pay our obeisance and do archana etc. Added we also annually remit the prescribed amount to the Koil authorities to do archana on a monthly basis and send ‘prasadam’ (vibuthi and kunkuam) which we have been getting regularly by post. In addition we had remitted by DD/transfer the prescribed amount by the temple authorities for doing annual abhishekam and archana on our marriage day and our grandson’s birthday. For this purpose we had remitted Rs.18,000/- each to the Devasthanam. However, we don’t get any prasadam on dates prescribed! On contact them over phone today, it appears they don’t have any record albeit we have pucca receipt for the same from the temple! What to do? They don’t have any e-mail address and their website reported in the site does not exist! Can you help?
