They are the ones closer both to God and nature. A group of 16 temple priests from in and around Kanjikuzhy in Alappuzha is proving that farmer togs too suit them. The priests have recently joined the 'Njangalum Krishiyilek' campaign of the Agriculture Department by launching paddy cultivation on four acres of land taken on lease at Karikuzhi paddy polder.
“It is always great to be engaged in agriculture. Connecting with nature improves our well-being and generates a sense of belonging. We have completed the sowing and are looking forward to immersing ourselves in paddy farming in the coming weeks,” says Bineesh Mohan, a member of the group.
