Former Congress president and MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday lauded the services rendered to humanity by Sri Siddaganga Mutt in Tumakuru and said the mutt has been providing services to lakhs of people without consideration of religion or caste divides.
Mr. Gandhi visited the Mutt and paid his respect to the late Shivakumara Swami of Siddaganga Mutt on his 115th birth anniversary.
Addressing students and seers, he recalled the long association of the Gandhi family with the mutt and said former Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi had visited the mutt. “Our family relations with the mutt are not only old but respectful,” he said.
