Addressing mediapersons on Saturday, former Union minister Janardhan Poojary said that the Mangaluru Dasara started in 1990 and is known across the country as well as in different parts of the world.

“The Mangaluru Dasara is being organised with the strength and power of the people of the region. Over 75 tableaux will take part in the Dasara procession,” said Poojary, to a query from reporters, and added, “We do not expect any financial assistance from the government. Even during the renovation of the temple, no financial assistance from the government was sought.”

Temple Management Committee treasurer Padmaraj R said that the Dasara celebrations will commence with the installation of the idols of the Navadurgas and Goddess Sharada at 11.15 am on October 1. Daily pooja and rituals will be offered to the idols of Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kooshmandini, Siddhidatri, Mahakali, Mahagowri, Kathyayini, Skanda Mata, Adishakti, Shailaputri and Ganapathi, he said and added that, on October 9, a Chandika Homa and a Hagalothsava will be held. The mass feeding of devotees will be held on October 10.

Cultural programmes featuring leading artists will be held as part of the celebrations on all the days during the festival from 6 pm onwards. Stating that around 75 tableaux are expected to participate in the procession this year, the treasurer said that over 500 colourful umbrellas will also be part of the procession. The streets where the procession pass through are already illuminated to mark Dasara festivities.

He appealed to building owners to illuminate their buildings to add colour to the Dasara procession. The Dasara procession will traverse 7 kilometres, from Kshetra - Ladyhill - Lalbagh - Ballalbagh - Kodialbail - Hampankatte - University College - Ganapathi High School Road - Car Street - Chitra Talkies before reaching the Kshetra. The idols will later be immersed in the temple pond in the early hours of October 12.

NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI... There is no image of God.
NA SAMDRSE tisthati rupam asya - His form is not to be seen, no one sees him with the eyes... (Svetasvatara upanishad 4:20)
The images that U worship is not God according to VEDAS..
How come u guys waste a lot of money on that image.. which is motionless and lifeless..

Humans are an intelligent creature which God created, If they use their intellect in finding the TRUE GOD ... God guides them to the TRUTH... please try to search and dont just follow what U follow blindly without logic and reason.

'Since a couple of days, there are reports in media regarding the admission of COVID-19 patients, lack of hygiene and the supply of sub-standard food to patients. The country is appreciating Karnataka and Bengaluru for controlling the spread of coronavirus. This was possible due to tireless efforts from past several months and these kinds of reports emerging now cannot be tolerated," Sudhakar said.

He added, "There can be no compromise in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. It must be ensured that these kinds of complaints will not be repeated. Directors of hospitals will be held responsible if there are complaints."

"Since the COVID-19 cases are increasing, private hospitals have been roped in to treat coronavirus patients. Officials have to ensure that beds are reserved and all arrangements are made as per the government order. Guidelines will soon be issued for monitoring asymptomatic cases in COVID care centres," he added.
