Senior Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] leader and author P. Jayarajan has clarified on a Facebook post following controversy over his recent visit to the Sreekurumba Bhagavathy temple at Kodungalloor in Thrissur district that the visit was part of research work for his upcoming book and was not an act of devotion.
Mr. Jayarajan, who visited the temple recently, spent around half an hour on the temple premises and walked around the complex. However, it is reported that he did not offer prayers at the sanctum of the temple.
