Madikeri: A meeting of the Kattemad Maha Mrityunjaya Mahadeshwara Kshetra Temple Committee, residents and other community representatives held at Maragodu VSSN Hall yesterday failed to reach a consensus regarding the ongoing dress code controversy. It was ultimately decided to defer the matter to the Deputy Commissioner (DC) for resolution.
The controversy erupted on Dec. 28, when a few Kodava community members were denied entry into the Temple by individuals from the Arebhashe Gowda community, reportedly representing the Temple Management Board.
