1 Madras High Court ordered HR & CE to monitor the Mural Paintings in Adhikeasava Perumal – Thiruvattaru
Since 2015, renovation has been going on in the Adikesava Perumal Temple. The only paint allowed to be used in all renovation works is mural paint.

2 In addition to paint the artistic works on the walls inside and outside the sanctum sanctorum, mural paint is used to paint the deities and all the sculptures on the gopuram. In essence, all the painting works in the temple are, traditionally, done only by mural paint.

3 Mural paint is a combination of seasonal herbs collected and refined using traditional methods.
For years, devotees have been continuously complaining that acrylic paint is used in the renovation works instead of mural / herbal paint.
