Pattalodi Worship Festival Concludes at Padi Sri Igguthappa Temple

Napoklu, Oct 27: The renowned 'Pattalodi' worship festival—observed on the tenth day of the month of Tula, following the sacred 'Kaveri Teerthodbhava' (the emergence of the River Kaveri)—was celebrated with great devotion at the Padi Sri Igguthappa Temple in Kakkabbe, near here. As part of this special festival, which is traditionally conducted under the leadership of the Paradanda family, various religious rituals took place at the temple throughout the morning.

Devotees from various parts of the region arrived for the occasion to seek the fulfillment of their wishes. They performed special prayers, including Sri Satyanarayana Puja, 'Mahapuja,' and 'Tulabhara' (offering items equal to one's body weight), and felt blessed upon receiving the *teertha* (consecrated water) and *prasada*. The event also featured the *Nritya Bali* (a ritual dance offering to the deity) and the distribution of *anna prasada* (sanctified food).

Priest Jagadish officiated the religious rites. The 'Pattalodi' festival was celebrated with great enthusiasm not only at the Padi Temple in Kakkabbe but also at the Sri Igguthappa temples located in the villages of Perooru and Nelaji. Paradanda Subrahmani Kaverappa, the *Devatakkaru* (chief ritual officiant) and President of the *Bhaktajana Sangha* (devotees' association), offered special prayers in the divine presence for the prosperity of the land. Speaking on the occasion, he noted that *Patthalodi* is an exceptionally significant and auspicious day for the worship of the deity Igguthappa. He prayed that the deity might bestow good health, longevity, happiness, peace, and overall well-being upon all the devotees across the land.
