The decision by the corporation to charge a rental fee for using the Saraswati Mandapam during the Navaratri Mahotsavam has caused controversy. However, the mayor clarified that the mandapam and auditorium would be provided free of charge to the committee overseeing the mandapam, as in previous years. The rental fee was not intentional but automatically generated through the city’s digital service platform. The festival at the Poojappura Mandapam is a significant cultural event in Thiruvananthapuram, where children are initiated into the world of learning. Last year, 1,490 children participated in the initiation ceremony. Overall, the corporation is committed to ensuring the smooth conduct of the Puja festival, which is a matter of pride for the city.
