Mangalore, March 9: The P. Dayanand Pai and P. Satish Pai Yakshagana Adhyayana Kendra, Mangalore University, has awarded the first Yakshamangala Prashasti to Kadathoka Manjunatha, whose contribution to the art spans 60 years.


The award carries a citation, cash prize of Rs. 25,000 and felicitation to be held on March 14. A committee headed by folklorist Amrut Someshwar chose Mr. Manjunatha as the recipient of the award.


Mr. Manjunatha hails from Kadathoka near Kumta in Uttara Kannada district. He is the son of well-known singer Shambhu Bhagwat.


Mr. Manjunatha is equally well-versed in Thenkuthittu and Badaguthittu styles of Yakshagana. He is a singer who engages in creative experimentation, and an excellent director who was popular on the stage in decades between the 1960s and 90s.


A journalist who realised his dream of becoming a bhagvatha, Mr. Manjunatha has composed more than 20 prasangas. He has won several awards such as the Rajyotsava Award, Sahitya Academy Award, and Sheni Prashasti. He is leading a retired life in Haladipura, Uttara Kannada district.

Bantwal, Jul 24: Former Union Minister B Janardhan Poojary on Friday said that people need to shed all their misconception regarding COVID-19 and stop taking it so lightly as it is not just any normal disease.

The 83-year-old politician who was tested positive for covid-19, was recently discharged from hospital after recovering completely.

Giving a word of caution, he said, “Earlier also there have been several diseases like Covid-19 and it has been eradicated. Even covid-19 will be eradicated. So, people should not get scared of the disease instead must fight with it”

“Also, covid-19 patients must not be treated like untouchables as those with symptoms may also not mention it due to the fear of being treated badly,” he added.
