Soon after the Supreme Court pronounced its verdict to uphold the rights of Travancore royal family, members expressed their gratitude to all those who stood with the family for protecting the temple and their rights over it.
Ashwati Thirunal Gauri Lakshmibhai, a member of the royal family, said that she was happy and thanked all those who stood by and prayed. “Great God’s will prevailed. Will say more about it after going through the whole verdict,” said Princess Gowri Lakshmibai of the erstwhile Travancore royal family soon after the judgment.
She reminded that as per the wishes of her forefathers, the temple will remain as public property while the family will manage the temple for the people.
Soon after the verdict came, devotees came out in large numbers and distributed sweets before the sixth century temple, situated in the heart of the state capital Thiruvananthapuram. Some devotees were even seen crying before the temple.
