Virajpet Ganeshotsava Overview – 6

The Ganeshotsava of the Kaveri Ganeshotsava Samiti (Moornadu Road), established by the Ganeshotsava Samiti of Virajpet, has entered its 36th year this year.

The Ganeshotsava Mantapa of this Samiti is located at the important Moornadu Road junction leading from Virajpet to Madikeri. Since this festival is held at the most important strategic location in the city, thousands of devotees and the public participate in the religious programs every day.

History and Memory of the Founder

In the initial days, Nambudumada Ponnappa led the Ganeshotsava of this Samiti and inaugurated it with his special grace. During that period, this organization took strong root due to the efforts of prominent people like Satyanarayana, Nagaraju, Papanna and Dikka Achappa who supported their religious and social thoughts.

This strong foundation laid by the elders is the reason for the long and successful celebration of 36 years today.

At present, the committee, which has a strength of more than 90 members, is headed by Nambudumada Anand Rajappa as the president, Rakesh as the vice president, and Darshan as the secretary.

Devotional worship and offerings are performed to the Lord three times a day for 11 days. After the daily worship, fruit, food and prasad distribution and anna santarpana programs are held in a neat manner.

Along with religious programs every day, a special platform is provided for completely local artists and emerging talents to showcase their art.

Various cultural and competitive programs including poetry recitals, Bhagavad Gita recitations, dance performances, and other social activities are being organized to encourage local talents, as well as free health check-up camps for the benefit of the public.

The Cauvery Ganeshotsava Committee has made all these preparations with the lofty aim of providing free health services, nurturing art, literature, and culture along with religion, and making a great contribution to society and becoming a role model for society.
