Chamarajanagar: The Kichguth Maramma Temple at Sulwadi in Hanur taluk of the district, which was attracting devotees from nearby areas everyday, now wears a deserted look after the Dec.14 tragedy, in which 17 people lost their lives and several others took ill after consuming ‘prasadam’ laced with poison offered at the Temple.
The Maramma Temple had become popular in Hanur taluk and special pujas were performed in the temple on every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. On these days, there would be huge rush of devotees, with some of them even sacrificing animals.
