Mysuru: Entry ticket collections on the four Ashada Shukravaras (Fridays) at the Chamundeshwari Temple atop the Chamundi Hill stood at Rs.97,37,720, a slight decrease from last year’s collection of Rs. 1,03,83,030. The difference amount is Rs.6,45,310.
This year, the Ashada Shukravaras began on July 20 and the subsequent being on July 27, Aug. 3 and Aug. 10. The Chamundeshwari Vardhanti coincided with the Aug.3 Ashada Shukravara, reducing the festival days to four instead of the last year’s five. The slight decrease in the revenue might be because of this factor, temple sources said.
