The executive committee of the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple has granted permission to noted singer KJ Yesudas to offer prayer at the temple.
The temple allows only Hindus and those who declare faith in Hinduism to enter and offer prayers. “Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple executive committee has decided to permit Yesudas to visit Padmanabhaswamy temple.
Yesudas filed an undertaking that he has belief in Hindu faith and is ready to follow the temple traditions,” V Ratheesan, a member of temple’s executive committee, said.
Mr Yesudas, who is a Christian by birth, has sung many Hindu devotional songs. According to the 1952 Travancore Devasom Board law, non-Hindus are not allowed inside, except when they give a written undertaking that they believe in the Hindu faith and will follow the temple practices.
