Similarly, Hindu Seva Kendra activist Pratheesh Viswanath voiced his criticism, also on X, saying, “Shocking and disgraceful incident from Al Kherala! Celebrating Eid Milad-un-Nabi in a temple is an insult to our traditions and heritage. If tomorrow, the Waqf Board lays claim to this temple land, citing ‘religious practices,’ will the so-called seculars wake up? Respect for all faiths doesn’t mean diluting our own! Shameless temple administration with fake Hindus under the influence of dangerous disease called communism!”

In kerala they don't have a sense of Being Hindu it's destroyed over years. Onam is the first festival to be celebrated as a secular event.

As the video continues to gain attention online, authorities and temple officials are yet to comment on the incident, which has stoked concerns about the balance between secularism and respect for religious spaces in Kerala.
