“Sultan Qaboos loved not just his own people but those expats who worked and stayed in Oman too. He was a father figure to us,” said Raju an NRI based in Edachery.
“Most of the people residing in this area are working in Oman and they discussed this idea with the management of the temple who agreed to do this gesture in memory of the great leader,” he said.
According to the temple management, the feast was offered to the destitutes, orphans, elderly and poor people in the district.
