Temples and monasteries are places of peace

Kanive, Apr. 15: Temples and monasteries are places of inner peace and tranquility for humans, said Sri Shantamallikarjuna Swamiji, the head of the Kalacheri Mutt.

Addressing the devotees who participated in the annual pujotsava of Sri Basaveshwara and Kannambadamma gods in Hosapattana village, he said that no matter what a person achieves, he needs to come to temples to get mental peace and tranquility. He said that the beauty of Indian culture is to carry the rural festivals and pujotsavas celebrated by the ancestors to the next generation with care. On Monday, the village went to the Kaveri river with a musical ensemble and a decorated palanquin of gods and took a Ganga bath.

On this occasion, the attractive Veerabhadra dance of the Ravikumar troupe, a group of brave artists from Uddur village in Holenarasipur taluk, attracted the devotees. Later, after the Kondotsava Puja installed in front of the temple, devotees carrying the deity idols trampled on the ground with their bare feet and offered their devotion.

Then, Prasad and Annasantharpana were held for Mahamangalaarthi. A team led by K.S. Dinesh Shasthic of Mysore performed the religious rituals of the temple.

The temple management board president Poornima Shivakumar, vice president Ayyandra Jayananda, secretary Tejas, treasurer Sukhe, priest S.S. Jayaraju, directors Tuntajjira Dalesh, Nenira Naveen Kumar, S.S. Chandrashekhar, H.R. Shivakumar, H.V. Chandru, Madambi Shanmukha, M.R. Mahesh, Shivakumar and others were present.
