Mysore/Mysuru: Despite the ban orders prohibiting entry of devotees and other members of the public to the famed religious shrine Chamundi temple as a COVID-19 precautionary measure, the Hill temple saw a big number of devotees visiting the temple for Sri Chamundeshwari Vardhanti and third Ashada Friday today, as visiting the temple on an Ashada Friday is considered auspicious by many. The rush was all the more unusual today as Chamundi Vardhanti is celebrated on Krishna Paksha’s Revathi Nakshatra day in Ashada.
The rush was also triggered by the visit of a good number of people's representatives, top officials and locals residing atop Chamundi Hill, with each member of almost every family taking part in the celebration.
