The Kerala Government has made it clear to a court here that it is not mulling the takeover of the magnificent Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple here which is under the trusteeship of the Travancore Royal house.
The Government stated its position in a statement yesterday following a private petition, seeking the state-take over of the grand temple, its invaluable jewels and movable properties.
The petition also sought the officials of the present administration to be restrained from entering the inner chambers of the complex, where rare jewels, gold vessels and other precious items are believed to be kept.
In the statement filed before the Principal Sub-Court here, the Government said it did not have any plan to take the reins of the temple, since there have been no complaints against the present set-up.
