[edit] Needs references and MAJOR revision

This article has improved steadily, but really needs work as it is still a mess. There was only one reference listed; I tried to add several more, but folks who have access to original texts could seriously improve the quality of the article by referencing them. Anyone who has access to references for this article, please appropriately document things.

The overall tone of this article is written from the point of view of a worshipper; it needs to be revised for encyclopedic tone in a big way. As it stands, much of it is unsupported, tonally inferior and could be easily deleted. I am certain that someone out there is attatched enough to the topic to fix this and make it appropriate for wikipedia standards of tone.

I deleted the "easy Sloka to learn" not because it might not have merit, but because A) no translation was provided, b)the relevance to this article was not made clear, and c)Wikipedia is not a prayer learning site, but an encyclopedia. If one wishes to include Sloka or other literary sources, please REFERENCE them and document in a non-biased fashion why they are relevant to the article as a whole. Otherwise, put them in a separate article.

This is a valuable article. Let's make it better. Transcendentalstate (talk) 13:27, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Other dieties

Sri Padmanabha swami temple doesnt have any saivite dieties (still ganapathi is not included in that catagory). Shiva is only in the dias under the arm of perumal. a dias for subrahmania is also not there to my knowledge(And I strongly believe so). I've removed these things.

In the eastern entrance, near flag post, hanuman and garuda are there.

This article needs a photo.

[edit] Sloka and Paasuram

The section on "Easy Sloka and Paasuram" seems irrelevant to the article. I don't see the point in adding a section on a salutation verse to a deity on the page about the temple. Not to mention, there are several typographic errors in the sloka, plus no cited source. Bark4nai 08:02, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
