The Hindu
At Guruvayur and Sivakrishnapuram temples
A tender notice issued by the Guruvayur Devaswom that invited Brahmin cooks for preparing food in connection with the festival at the Sreekrishna temple has been cancelled following the intervention of Devaswom Minister K. Radhakrishnan.
The Guruvayur Devaswom issued the tender notice for various activities in connection with the Guruvayur festival to be celebrated between February 14 and 23. The notice, insisting that cooks and their helpers should be Brahmins, invited criticism from various quarters for what they termed as its castiest content.
