‘Mahamrutyunjaya Homam’ performed at Srisailam
Devotees possessing white ration cards were given an opportunity to participate in the Mahamrutyunjaya Homam at the Srisailam Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy Devasthanam temple on Monday as part of the ‘Uchitha Samuhika Seva’ scheme, which otherwise costs ₹1,500 per ticket. Around 120 people participated in the homam.
This Samuhika Seva scheme was launched in April this year.
The day’s programme began with Ganesh Puja followed by the Mrutyunjaya Homam at Chandrapathi Kalyana Mandapam and at the end of the homam, the devotees had a darshan of the presiding deities. Two laddus were given as prasadam and free meals were provided to all of them, according to a release from the Devasthanam.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
