An ayurvedic doctor, who is also a Youtuber, vlogger and singer is going to be the next head priest or ‘melshanti’ of Kerala’s famous Guruvayur temple here.
Thirty-four-year-old Dr Kiran Anand Kakkad, hailing from a long line of priests and who was practising ayurvedic medicine in a Russian Ayurveda clinic in Moscow for six years, was selected as the next melshanti of Guruvayur temple last week by a draw of lots.
He will assume charge from next month onwards for a period of six months after which a new melshanti would replace him.
