The petition was filed following a video showing Jasna Salim, a Muslim painter and self-proclaimed devotee of Sri Krishna, cutting a birthday cake within the temple premises.
The writ petition was filed by two individuals who identified themselves as devotees of the Guruvayur Sree Krishna Temple, represented by Advocate R. Krishna Raj. On September 5, the Court took suo motu action by adding the Administrator of the Guruvayur Devaswom Managing Committee as a respondent. The Court directed the respondents to provide instructions concerning the video evidence presented by the petitioners.
The Petitioners also requested that authorities take action against Jasna Salim for allegedly breaching the Kerala Hindu Places of Public Worship (Authorisation of Entry) Act, 1965, and its Rules by entering the Guruvayur temple premises, including the Nadapanthal, and engaging in activities such as videography, which they claim is prohibited.
