Manikantha’s Slaying of Mahishi

Madikeri, Oct. 12: Channapanda Hema Kumar, President of the Kundurumotte Sri Chauti Mariyamma Temple Mantapa Committee, announced that the committee is gearing up to celebrate the 53rd annual festival of the temple—renowned as the eldest among the city's four Shakti deities.

Two tractors are being utilized, and a tableau depicting the slaying of Mahishi by Manikantha is being installed on the *mantapa* (display float). New Matha Electricals from Dindigul will install the lighting board, while Avin Kumar of EventTech, Madikeri, will handle the studio lighting arrangements. A total of 23 artistic figures are being created for the display by Abdul Khader’s team and Mahadevappa & Sons from Huduburu.

Manjunath’s team from Diksha Fabricators will engineer the movement mechanisms for the figures, while Manju and his team from Kala Nagara will handle the set construction. Hema Kumar stated that the *mantapa* is being prepared at a total cost of ₹30 lakh.
