“If not for the Shakti, the free travel for women in State Road transport corporation buses scheme, we would not have visited a faraway pilgrim centre like Kukke Subrahmanya,” said one of the 15-member women’s team from Bidar district.
Having started their journey from Bidar on June 19, Monday, the team that also had three accompanying men, had already visited Sringeri, Udupi and Dharmasthala before its arrival at Kukke Subrahmanya, the richest temple of Karnataka, on Friday, June 23.
