Bengaluru, Oct 24: Pejawar Mutt seer Vishwesha Tirtha Swami and retired IAS officer S M Jamdar will face-off in a debate on whether or not the Lingayat faith is different from the Hindu religion, scheduled to be held in the last week of January next year in Bengaluru.

Jamdar, who is spearheading the campaign for a separate Lingayat religion, had challenged the Pejawar Mutt seer for a debate after the latter remarked that Lingayats were also Hindus as they worshipped Lord Shiva. The seer accepted Jamdar’s challenge.

“As the Swami himself suggested, we happily agree for a debate in the last week of January and a suitable venue will be identified in Bengaluru. My team will answer all his questions,” Jamdar said in a statement on Monday.

In January 2012, the pontiff went head-on against Nidumamidi Mutt seer Veerabhadra Chennamalla Swami and others in a public discussion where his stand on the controversial Made Snana was put to test.

Bengaluru, Jan 24: Middle East based prestigious LuLu Group has come forward to invest $300 million in Karnataka in the retail, logistics and hospitality sectors.

As part of this, the first LuLu mall will commence operations in Bengaluru’s Rajajinagar area by August.

LuLu’s first mall in India, in Cochin, is seen as a huge success. It’s not clear how that mall is doing financially, but it became so popular that it had an adverse effect on almost every other mall in the city.

Lulu’s investment plan for Karnataka was communicated during a discussion between chief minister BS Yediyurappa and Yusuff Ali MA, chairman and managing director of Lulu Group, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

The company will also set up two five-star hotels in Bengaluru through Twenty14 Holdings, its hospitality arm, and a modern logistics centre in the Uttara Kannada region.

Lulu Group’s retail initiative Tablez brought Toys `R’ Us, one of the world’s largest toy store chains, to Bengaluru in 2017. Started in the Phoenix Mall in Whitefield, it competes with Reliance-owned Hamleys.

Tablez has also brought in other international brands such as American ice cream parlour chain Cold Stone Creamery, South Africa based flame-grilled chicken concept Galito’s, and Tablez’ own brand Bloomsbury’s, a boutique cafe and bakery. It has also launched Spanish fashion brands Springfield and Women ’secret.
