Mangalore, February 20: Senior Congress leader Janardhan Poojary participated in 'Urulu seve' along with hundreds of devotees to mark Shivarathri in Kudroli Shri Gokarnanatheshwara Temple on Sunday.


Mr. Poojary told the reporters that devotees irrespective of caste took part in the urulu seve, a ritual that involves rolling on the ground around the temple

Mr. Poojary, however, sought to make a distinction between Urulu Seve and Madesnana, saying in the latter, people roll on plantain leaves with leftovers of meal served to Brahmins. “In 'Urulu seve,' it is performed keeping in mind the cleanliness aspect as well,” he said.

Temple committee president H S Sairam said the temple premises were cleaned using water and disinfectant to allow the devotees to take part in 'urulu seve.'

'Maharudrahoma' and 'Hagalotsava' were also held on the occasion. Rashtriya Billava Mahamandali president Jaya C. Suvarna, Harikrishna Bantwal, vice-president of the temple committee Raghavendra Kuloor, B. Madhava Suvarna, among others, were present.
