With the State government permitting performance of all rituals associated with places of worship and prayer, people thronged temples, churches and mosques in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts on July 25 that are known for religious tourism. Opening up of rituals at these places is expected to revive the religious economy wherein thousands of people depend upon the activities associated with places of worship for livelihood. Fruit and flower vendors, vendors selling pooja artices, autorickshaw and taxi operators, priests, helpers, hospitality industry, public transport operators and many more expect decent generation of income post COVID-19 pandemic’s second wave. Devotees thronged temples across the two districts since July 25 morning and began offering various sevas. Many had to fulfil their pending pledges before the deities of respective temples.More Related News
