Incessant rains that have been lashing Kalaburagi district for the fifth day have resulted in flood water entering the sanctum sanctorum of Sri Jayatirtha Moola Brindavana at Uttaradi Mutt on the banks of the Kagina at Malkhed in Sedam taluk of Kalaburagi district.

The moola brindavana submerged on Thursday evening and the water level receded on Friday morning. Though a 24 feet-high protection wall was constructed to avoid water from the Kagina entering the mutt premises during the rainy season, this is the second time the river water has entered.
