Whenever there were special prayers in the shrine, temple authorities used to open the tank but devotees were not allowed. Devotees, who faced severe hardships due to closure of the tank, were having the darshan of the presiding deity by taking bath in guest houses and taps arranged at parking lots.

Based on the instructions from the Commissioner of the Endowment department, temple authorities have decided to open the dharmagundam and are making arrangements for the same. The tank has been cleaned by removing the silt.
