After visiting dargah why didnt this darga commitee had a salah along with dewe gowda

He knows that there is no difference between Durga & Darga. Worshiping the dead is shirk (Major sin) which Allah will not forgive. It is just a Money making center & mafia center

Namma Farooq Sahibru DURGA mattu DARGA dallu prathyaksha.
Beshhhh kanri iddu rajakiya annudu ivarige Dhunya mukya Akirath secondary....Change yourself before its too late.

Durga or darga.... both are same which is shirk

Nice headline.

Davanagere, Jan 9: Residents of SVR colony of Channagiri Taluq here on Thursday built a temple in the memory of a male monkey, who died here 'unexpectedly'.

A group of monkeys entered the SVR colony around three months back. The monkeys have never disturbed anybody in the area and they used to play with children living in the colony.

Locals said that the monkeys are very obedient to them.

Unfortunately, one of the monkeys died suddenly on Wednesday, causing distress among people who were very fond of him.

Showing their love for the deceased monkey, locals performed his final rite according to Hindu tradition.

Later, the residents approached the president of the village Panchayat to allot funds to build a temple in the monkey's memory.

The construction of the temple has already begun in the area at the same place where the monkey's funeral was conducted.
