Offering a gold bar at the Omkareshwar shrine

Madikeri, June 4: It is common for a person to go to God to fulfill his wish. If his wish is fulfilled, he offers some kind of offering, service and dedicates it to the God. Some people voluntarily offer some kind of service, item, jewelry etc. to the temples. While most of them serve as a side dish, some others make a name for themselves by publicizing their service.!

However, true devotees do not tell anyone about it, and they show their devotion by giving their service and offering without anyone knowing. Such devotees have offered ‘Gold Bar’ (jewelry) to Sri Omkareshwar, who has a historical background in the city. During the counting of the donations made by devotees to the temple treasury by the Management Committee of the Sri Omkareshwar Temple, which is under the Department of Religious Endowments, a gold ornament was found in the treasury. It was in the form of a ‘barrel’, which was a fragment of a gold biscuit, and no one believed it to be gold. Therefore, the Chairman of the Management Committee, Chummi Devaiah, carefully removed it and took it to a goldsmith for examination. It was confirmed that it was pure 24-carat gold. The value of the gold bar weighing 20 grams is estimated to be Rs. 3 lakh. Along with this, a gold human slave weighing 0.075 grams was also found in the treasury. Some anonymous devotees had put the gold in the treasury as a gift after their wishes were fulfilled. When it was examined carefully, it was confirmed that it was pure gold. Committee President Chummidevaiah hoped that Omkareshwar would grant auspiciousness to the devotees. - Santosh
