Devotees visiting the famous MM Hills Temple atop Male Mahadeshwara Betta in Chamarajanagar district can get to see a 108-feet tall Lord Male Mahadeshwara Statue that will be unveiled on Saturday, March 18.

Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai will visit MM Hills to inaugurate the statue. In view of the CM’s visit, Minister in-charge of Chamarajanagar district V. Somanna will visit M.M. Hills on Friday, March 17, to inspect the arrangements and hold discussions with the officials.
