Thiruvananthapuram: The Supreme Court appointed Committee on scientific documentation of treasures locked up in the vaults of famed Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple here will be following standards set up by the International Council of Museum in carrying out the task entrusted to it.
"We want to carry out the mandate entrusted to us in a thorough and foolproof manner applying the latest technology and protocol. We have before us the standard procedures followed by the International Council of Museums. But we will strive to improve on them," panel coordinator and eminent conservationist Dr M V Nair told PTI.
The Supreme Court had yesterday agreed to Kerala's request for appointment of Nair as coordinator of the expert committee to evaluate the wealth in place of former bureaucrat C V Anand Bose, who recently retired from service.
Nair said the panel's job included categorisation of the invaluable objects found in 'kallaras' (vaults) of the sprawling temple into three--- those required for daily poojas and rituals of the temple, those which were not required for daily use and those which could be exhibited in a museum.
After inventorying and examining the priceless treasures, the panel would make suggestions whether some of the objects could be exhibited in a museum and, if so, whether within the temple premises or outside, he said
