Mysore/Mysuru: A book titled ‘Gouriya Nantu E Manetanakke’ in Kannada, authored by senior journalist Gouri Satya, was released by Nadoja Prof. T.V. Venkatachala Sastry and noted scholar Dr. N.S. Taranath at S.P. Bhat Hall of Institution of Engineers-India (IEI), JLB Road in the city on Saturday.
Sharing his views on the book, Dr. Taranath said, “Gouri Satya has narrated the association between his family and Mysore Palace (royal family) centring around Gouri festival, which was little known to others, in a intriguing manner. The book comprises 13 chapters and the first six of the chapters are dedicated to the topic of the book, especially about how Urs community celebrates the festival. Prior to Gouri Puja, Bale Malara Puja will be conducted and the rituals are followed, which are all narrated with details in this book.”
