The temple town of Nanjangud on the banks of the river Kapila came alive with religious fervour as the famed Pancha Maharathotsav was held on Friday, March 22.
Located about 26 km from Mysuru, Nanjangud is also known as Dakshina Kashi, and the car festival is the biggest event associated with the famous Srikanteshwara temple to witness which people turn up from across the State.
The unique feature of the Nanjangud Rathothsava is that it entails drawing five rathas each of which is named after a deity. The distance covered is about 1.5 km along the car street or the ‘’Ratha Beedi’’.
