Mangaluru, Sept 30: The procession of idols and tableaux and dances by various folk artistes marked the culmination of Dasara festivities at the Kudroli Gokarnanatheswara Temple here on Saturday.
The procession, which started around 6.30 pm from the temple, passed through Mannagudda, PVS, Navabharat Circle, K S Rao Road, Hampankatta, University College, Ganapathi High School Road, Car Street, Lower Car Street, New Chitra and Alake before culminating on Sunday morning, with the immersion of the idol of Goddess Sharada, the presiding deity of Navaratri, at the pond within the shrine’s precincts.

The Dasara procession started after a special prayer held under the guidance of veteran Congress leader B Janardhana Poojary. The procession had 70 tableaux, more than 30 tiger dance teams, Chende, Kombu, and other folk art teams. Colourful umbrellas, Dollu Kunitha team, Gombe Kunitha, Bhajan teams and other artistes added colour to the celebration.

The tableau carrying the idol of Lord Ganesha led the procession, followed by the tableaux carrying the portrait of Brahmasri Narayana Guru, idols of Adishakthi, Nava Durge - Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kooshmadhini, Skandamatha, Kathyayini, Mahakali, Gowri and Siddidhatri -- and that of Goddess Sharada, the much awaited among all.

The streets were decked up with light and colour. The idol of Goddess Sharada was the first to emerge out of the temple. As the deity was taken out, devotees performed Arathi, offered fruits, vegetables, and coconuts to the idol.

The Mannagudda Road leading to the temple from Lady Hill Circle was bustling with people ahead of the procession. While some had already occupied vantage points on the pavements and on buildings, bus stops and also the footpaths, some preferred to be on move to get close to the procession.

The devotees offered their obeisance when the tableaux carrying the idols stopped. Some also performed Puja, received vermilion in return and applied it on their foreheads.

Mangaladevi Rathotsava

Hundreds of devotees lined up on the streets to take part in the annual Rathotsava of the Mangaladevi temple on Saturday. Later, Balipuja was conducted. The idol was taken out in a chariot through Jeppu Main Road.

Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials began the operation to clear encroachments of Raja Kaluves at many parts of the city in Bengaluru on Saturday, August 06, 2016. -KPN # # # BBMP's drive against encroachments

Bengaluru, Aug 7: The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) on Saturday demolished 32 properties encroaching on Raja Kaluves in and around the city.
The helpless owners told the officials that their buildings were approved by the state government.
The demolished properties are among the 1,923 identified by the Bangalore Urban District administration as encroaching on Raja Kaluves.
The Palike has pulled down 822 properties so far, but the drive to remove the remaining illegal 1,101 structures is yet to gain the desired pace, an official said.
Following flash floods in different parts of the city last week, the Palike officials had to face the wrath of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and the public.
The chief minister ordered the demolition of all the illegal structures, which were said to be the primary cause for flooding of low-lying areas. The BBMP officials, accompanied by the police and officials from the Bangalore Metropolitan Task Force, brought down the houses constructed illegally on government land at Avani Shrungerinagar in Bommanahalli (17), Kasavanahalli in Mahadevapura (10) and Shivanahalli in Yelahanka (5).
Begging for time, the property owners showed the officials documents such as ‘A’ Khata, building approval, betterment certificate and tax receipts to prove that they had purchased the houses without knowing they were encroaching on drains. But the officials paid no heed and demolished the structures. A few residents pointed out that the BBMP was favouring some posh apartments and a few property owners who have also constructed buildings blocking the drains by diverting the Raja Kaluves.
Palike Commissioner Manjunath Prasad told reporters that the civic agency would initiate action against the guilty officials who have issued the town planning approval for the illegal structures. “It’s the handiwork of corrupt government officials. We will trace them and register criminal complaints against them,” he said. “Action will be also taken against the layout developer who sold these properties. But the BBMP will not pay compensation to the owners whose properties were demolished,” he added. Another official said the Palike would conduct similar eviction drives every Tuesday and Saturday.
