The devaprasnam at the Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple started off on an inauspicious note on Monday with the rashi puja held as its prelude indicating many bad omens.
The devaprasnam ritual is being held by the Travancore royal family, the custodian of the temple, to gauge what the deity feels about the recent happenings including the opening of the secret vaults by an expert panel which revealed immense wealth.
Sources said that the puja revealed that the devaprasnam was occurring in vrischika rashi (the moon sign related to the scorpion) and this itself was inauspicious.
Further, the astrologers who conducted the puja found that the nine planets were in a bad position. This had occurred because of past sins and wrong acts in the temple, they felt.
The seers suggested many acts of repentance including the Mahamrityunjaya Puja.
“Things are not going on well in the temple,” said Narayana Ranga Bhat, a senior astrologer who took part in the ritual. “We noticed many bad omens. The devotees have to take the initiative to ensure the welfare of the temple.”
Temple’s chief priest Tharanalloor Parameswaran Namboodiri is leading the devaprasnam that started at the nataka sala in the temple in the afternoon. It may continue for three or four days.
