this practice being continued through out the year. any body can offer this by remitting indian rupees two thousand only [rs. 2000/-] (US$ 39) food for 75 people will be served. this is served in banana leaves, typical kerala style.
earlier food was served in open yard, later it was shifted to a rented premises, now a devotee of Lord Shiva donated rs. 50,000/- to build a dining room exclusively for this purpose.
this dinning room is not in good shape as lotz of masonary works, electrification, plumbing, flooring etc. to be done.
for the time being it is used as there is no other alterntive.
devotees donated dinning tables, chairs and some kitchen utensils.
anybody can donate funds.

funds can be sent to the president, achan thevar shiva temple, koorkkenchery, trichur 680007, kerala, india
