Mrityunjaya Temple Restoration Work in Progress

Madikeri, May 17: The restoration work of the historic Sri Mrityunjaya Temple in Badagarakeri village of South Kodagu is in progress. The restoration work began on March 22 and is now almost complete. About 70 percent of the work has been completed. The work of developing the sanctum sanctorum, theertha mantapa and Ganapati temple of the temple was undertaken at a cost of more than Rs. 1 crore.

The work has been carried out quickly in about one and a half months. The rituals were started under the leadership of Nileshwara Padmanabha Tantri. The work of the sanctum sanctorum is being done in black stone. Sridhar Nayak of Murudeshwara has prepared the stones. Since the temple is located in a high area, the work is being carried out in a very adventurous manner with the help of a huge crane. Currently, the work of the Ganapati temple is almost complete. The stone work of the sanctum sanctorum is underway, and the work on the upper roof is in progress. 

After this, the work of covering the copper sheet needs to be done.

Currently, the work costing about 80 lakhs has been completed. The people of the country, villagers and devotees have contributed to the renovation work. Currently, about Rs. 30 lakhs are required for the pending work. In this regard, the temple's management board president Chonira Subramani said that they are expecting more help from the devotees.

The work needs to be completed before the rainy season. After this, it is planned to hold the installation work from July 6 to 8, Subramani informed. Various rituals, including Mrityunjaya Homa, have to be performed in this temple without fail 365 days a year. Currently, the deity is kept in the Balalaya and the puja rituals are being performed.
