Beltangady: Dharmasthala Temple Gets New Chariot for Annual Festival

Daijiworld Media Network - Beltangady

Beltangady, Apr 2: On the occasion of the annual festival of Lord Vishnu, a new chariot was offered to the Shri Manjunathaswamy temple at Dharmasthala here on Sunday April 1.

Sculptors of the chariot Koteshwara Lazminarayan Acharya and his team were honoured by Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari Dr D Veerendra Heggade.

Welcoming the chariot, Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari Dr  D Veerendra Heggade said that people will get an opportunity of a 'darshan' of Lord Manjunatha when the chariot is taken out during the festival. "The Lord will bless the Kshetra and the people," he added.

Dr Heggade appreciated work done by the sculptors.

Koteshwar Laxminarayan Acharya said that the chariot was built with devotion and that he was blessed to have got an opportunity to sculpt it.

The annual festival of Lord Vishnu will begin from April 12.

A curious fact about the sculptor is that the 69-year-old Koteshwara Laxminarayan Acharya started building chariots in the year 1969. This was the 69th chariot built by him with 69 fine carvings in it.

    Congratulations to Mr. Koteshwara Laxminarayana Acharya whose dedication to the art has brought out this excellent piece of work. Lord Manjunatheshwara will bless him for keeping the tradition of carving such an edifice and carry on this great tradition.
    H.E. Dr. Heggade is considered as a living GOD in our Coastal belt and in my opinion as somebody commented people of all walks of life touch his feet with gratitude there is no need to enter politics.

    Dear Rakesh,
    If any one want to help poor people it's not necessary to enter politics, if you have a wish to do like V Hegde you can help people who are poor. politics will spoil people like V Hegde. So i prefer it's better to stay where he is now.
