Gold coverings of 'dwarapalaka idols' sent to Chennai for restoration work: Spl commissioner
WITH hardly 10 days remaining for its showpiece event - the Global Ayyappa Sangamam, the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) found itself in a tight spot on Tuesday after the Sabarimala special commissioner informed the High Court that the gold coverings of 'dwarapalaka idols' of the hill shrine's sanctum sanctorum were detached and sent to Chennai for restoration work without the mandatory permission of the court.
The TDB, admitting that the gold-plated copper sheet coverings were sent to Chennai, however, maintained that it was done strictly in line with the procedural formalities. The restoration work will be held in Chennai at the expense of its sponsor, board president P S Prasanth said.
