Miniature Varanasi to be unravelled during Navaratri in Dharwad

Miniature models reflecting various hues of Varanasi, also known as Kashi and Banaras, will be on display in the Mangalwarpet locality of Old Dharwad during the upcoming Navaratri festival, thanks to the devotional service of a techie.

Kartik Kattimath, an IITian who now works for a private company, has been involved in this service of Goddess Durga for the past 15 years and this year, his initiative has grown bigger with the involvement of not only his family members but also a few friends and artisans.

His various models made of clay, thermocol and wood are the result of his meticulous planning, his frequent trips between Mumbai (where he works) and Dharwad. And, they will be on display for 10 days starting on Sunday at the Katti Mutt in Mangalwarpet.
