Chikkamagaluru Deputy Commissioner Meena Nagaraj has issued an advisory note to tourists planning to visit the hill stations of the district between December 22 and 27, urging them to postpone their schedule in view of the Datta Jayanti programme at Sri Guru Dattatreya Bababudan Swamy Dargah atop Bababudan Hills.
The DC, in her advisory released on December 13, said Datta Jayanti would be held between December 24 and 26. During these days, the number of devotees visiting the shrine would be high. The drive on the narrow roads leading to the place would be a difficult task during these days. Hence, tourists planning to visit Mullayyanagiri, Seethalayyana Giri, Galikere, Manikya Dhara, besides the shrine, are advised to reschedule their plans, she appealed.
