By -
Dear villagers, 

An emergency meeting was held today and the following decision were taken unanimously. On all the days there will not be Swamy Ezhunnallathu, instead the Deity will be taken out and three pradhakshinam will be done inside the temple prakaram Melam will be there but no chenda. 

As usual Kalababhishekam and Vedaparayanam will be there. In the evening there will not be mass naivedya distribution. The samooham will arrange a very small quantity of Naivedyam for the Deity. By 8pm the temple will be closed. 

On the car festival day the Deity will be kept in vandi theru and three pradhakshinam will be made inside the temple prakaram. There will not any sadhya during car festival. It has also been advised that everybody should come with mask. All are requested not to crowd during the pradhakshinam time, instead they can have darshan at other times.                 
With all your prayers and wishes, we firmly believe that the function will go smoothly.

Regards,
Thirunellai Grama Samooham
