All other devotees banned; Police keep strict vigil at gates, steps
Mysore/Mysuru: Amidst a huge public outcry that only VVIPs and celebrities are allowed atop Chamundi Hill to offer their prayers to Goddess Chamundeshwari on the auspicious occasion of Ashada Shukravara while the entry of common man is banned due to COVID, all entry points to the Hill Temple including the sides of the gates through steps were closed this morning. However, a couple of VVIPs still managed to sneak into the Hill Temple by road as the gates were open for their convoys. They were also welcomed by their supporters and villagers of Chamundi Hill Gram Panchayat, numbering over 200. But entry of other devotees was prohibited.
