He said preparations are under way to offer a floral tribute to Mahisha at Chamundi Hills. This causes inconvenience to visitors coming from across India and abroad, according to him. Floral tribute is being offered to Mahisha’s statue every month on amavasya and purnima days. He alleged that every time, the district administration and police create problems for the floral offering, and that ban orders are imposed at Chamundi Hill without reason. Bodhiratna Banteji and Jnanaprakash Swami will grace the event. Several others are also expected to participate, including writer KS Bhagawan, farmer leader Badagalapura Nagendra and historian PV Nanjaraj Urs. Download the TOI App.
