Renovation 

The temple structures are old and have not been undergoing regular repairs and maintenance.   Recently the South Oottuppura, West Oottupura and the Western Nadappura were repaired.    The Archaeological Survey of India has completed the conservation of the Sreekovil at a cost of Rs.35 lakh.   The age old Thaazhikakudam that was in a deteriorating stage was re-modified with gold gilding and reinstalled with Thantric rites.  Some other structures like Mukhamandapam (Namaskaramandapam), Vathil Madam, Thidappilly, Mulayara, Koothambalam, Eastern Nadapura, and Gopurams etc. are also to be conserved.   The Flag Mast, though gold plated, is not in a presentable form.  The Flag Mast has to be replaced and the paras covering the Mast is to be properly gold plated.  The major repairs/conservation of roof of the structures etc. are to be taken up early and the temple preserved at any cost.  

Income of Devaswom 

The temple income is limited to the Annuity of Rs.8.47 lakh being allotted by the State Government and from the devotees’ offerings (Nadavaravu).   The Devaswom once owned large extent of landed properties almost throughout the erstwhile princely state of Kochi.   With the Land Reforms Act, It lost all the landed properties and is left to depend on the Annuity and Nadavaravu only for conducting the affairs of the Temple. 

Appeal to Devotees and Philanthropists 

Needless to state that the Devaswom alone will not be able to undertake the extensive repairs and maintenance works estimated to cost about R.200 lakhs.    The murals and paintings are to be preserved at any cost.    The Naveekaranakalasam, which costs about Rs.30 lakhs, has to be performed immediately.   Devaswom is tying to collect funds to do it.   The other repair works are also to be taken up immediately one by one.  Devaswom, to fulfil these obligations, are expecting liberal help from devotees and philanthropists.
