Reason: ‘Sevakartas’ of sacred oil anointing ritual ignored without any representation
Mysuru: A stay order has been issued by the Karnataka High Court for the inauguration of the Museum under construction at Male Mahadeshwara Hill in Chamarajanagar District, citing the exclusion of the historical contributions of Mahadeshwara Swamy’s oil anointing ‘sevakartas’. The order follows a petition filed by Siddappa, a descendant of the traditional oil anointing ‘sevakartas’.
