Devotees in thousands visited Sri Chamundeshwari temple atop the Chamundi Hills on the first Friday of Ashada season.
It is a hoary tradition among the local people to visit the temple during ‘’Ashada Masa’’ and special prayers and rituals are conducted to mark the occasion. It draws thousands of people from Mysuru and surrounding regions but there was a ban on temple entry in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 norms.Hence the authorities were geared up to handle the crowd in anticipation of a large turnout and had prepared accordingly.
