Malabar Devaswom Board

After the passing of the States Reorganisation Act 1956, Malabar district excluding the islands of Lacadives and Minicoy and Kasargod Taluk of South Kanara district came to be known as Malabar district in the state of Kerala along with the territories of the existing State or Travancore and Cochin. The legacies and inroads of the previous temple administration and traditional aspects materialized the Act No. XIX of 1951 into the moulding frame of the H.R & C.E administration. The Malabar Devaswom Board is exercising supervisory control of the temple administration, to see that the funds are utilized for the beneficial interest of that institution, in a proper, transparent and lawful manner in the same manner as it was done by the H.R & C.E (Admn) Department.
