This is Vaikom Mahadev Temple. Before closing the main gates of the temple, one of the staff from the temple has to call out aloud at all 4 main gates “Is there anyone who is starving for dinner tonight?” pic.twitter.com/ESn1ZaYhA5

If any person says he is hungry, he will be fed dinner and then only the gates will be closed.
This is one temple which feeds both Lunch and Dinner to anyone who steps in asking for food to the temple.. this custom can be seen in majority of hindu aristocratic families in kerala— Ashwin Sampatkumaran (@Ashwinsampathk) May 12, 2019
Thanks to communist and their land reforms the custom of feeding all is no longer in practise. Our padmanabha temple cooked about 3600 kg of rice a day to Feed people We had the real idea of feeding poor. Thanks to govt taking away it's lands it's no longer in practice now. .
