Preserving the sanctity of South Indian temples relies heavily on the availability of traditional staff, including Pandits and Poojaris. The challenge lies in finding individuals well-versed in ancient scriptures, rituals, and customs. The scarcity of such skilled personnel poses a threat to the authentic execution of temple ceremonies.

Efforts to address this issue involve initiatives to train and encourage the younger generation to embrace these roles. Additionally, there is a need for community support and recognition to attract skilled professionals, ensuring the continuity of traditional practices within these sacred spaces
