Thrissur, Mar 7: A local temple in Kerala is at the centre of a social media storm after the picture of a ''Brahmins-only toilet'' outside its main campus went viral on online platforms, prompting the management to remove the signboard.
The picture of three toilets, with signboards showing "Men", "Women" and "Brahmins", at the Kuttumukku Mahadeva Temple in Thrissur, has gone viral with many social media users viewing it as an unethical practise that can portray the progressive state in a bad light.
However, temple officials said the toilets were located outside the main campus and the board was brought to their notice only now.
Kannan, an official of the temple committee, said the board was placed nearly two decades ago and nobody raised any complaint against it so far.
"That particular toilet was being used by priests and other temple employees. We didn't even notice that board... As soon as we came to know about it, we removed it and affixed a staff-only board," he told PTI.
Also a CPI-M functionary and ward councillor, Kannan said the shrine and it's management was against all kinds of unethical customs.
The temple official said they were planning to pursue legal measures against the man who posted the photo of the toilets on social media.
"We suspect that he did it deliberately to create issues during the time of the festival and to tarnish the shrine's reputation. Not only that, the photo he shared was an old one though he claimed that it was taken during the time of the festival, " he said.
Police used mild force to disperse the protesters in which some of them received minor injuries.

Good Treatment to Swami, appreciated...ha...ha..ha............
When the mind is empty about the knowledge of the CREATOR , YOU all will find people like SWAMY & their fans spread the hatred & support the EVIL without the knowledge of accountability of the DEEDS with the Creator. When we live in FALSE ideology - we tend to do INJUSTICE to the innocent and OPPRESS them...
Dear Swami and his fans should learn more about the CREATOR of all that exists.. who created the SKY without any Hole in it.. Please look up the SKY, try to find a whole .. LOOK Again try to find a hole... and then PONDER and think on the creation... The CREATOR will guide those who Ponder on his verses...
QURAN asks human to think & PONDER on the verses of the QURAN. and implement and research with the LIFE which ALLAH has given us... Many Scientist have already proven & accepted the word of ALLAH and with their deep study they are PROVING its the word of GOD which is FAR FROM IMPERFECT -- Praise be to ALLAH alone who created the heavens and earth...
Subbu Swamy...Deserves These kind of welcome...Don't Throw good tomatos.Throw only waste. Otherwise he will catch & cook it.
Why swami never tell about vyapam scam, chiikki scam, food scam, lalit modi scam? He only shows at others. First let him look into his own party memebers
An insult to rotten eggs and tomatoes. Swamy need stonewash.
indian Drama Leader,
