“All activities in Dharmasthala are conducted with openness. For over eight centuries, we have offered annadana (food), vidyadana (education), aushadadhana (medicine), and abhayadana (protection) without discrimination of caste or religion. All transactions, donations, and charitable works are carried out through the temple trust with utmost transparency,” he said.
Conclusion
The visit by the advocates underscored widespread support for Dharmasthala temple and its administration. With legal professionals pledging to counter misinformation, the temple’s commitment to its centuries-old tradition of service and openness remains firmly reinforced.
