Though the work began soon after, it could not progress much further due to the COVID situation," he told PTI.Later, various renovation works were completed in a phased manner from 2021 onwards, he said."The comprehensive renovation and the related rituals are being held at the shrine after centuries. It is a rare opportunity for devotees of Lord Padmanabha across the world to witness these rituals after all these years," he said.He also said that steps are being taken by the temple management to ensure the smooth conduct of the sacred rituals, in adherence to the shrine's centuries-old traditions.Various rituals, including Acharya Varanam, Prasada Shuddhi, Dhara, Kalasam, and others, will be held at the shrine in the coming days leading up to the "Maha Kumbhabhishekam" on June 8, temple sources added.The name of Kerala capital is closely tied to the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, where Lord Vishnu is enshrined in a reclining posture on serpent God 'Anantha'.The city grew around this temple and took its name from the deity worshipped there.
