Mysore/Mysuru: The city reverberated with the chanting of Shivanama on Tuesday as thousands of people thronged Shiva temples for Mahashivarathri festival. The Shivarathri celebrations regained their religious fervour and grandeur after two years, with people standing in long queues to offer prayers. Shivarathri and other festivals were scaled down due to the deadly COVID pandemic, which broke out in March 2020.
Devotees started thronging Shiva temples across the city right from early morning. Various Mutt and temples had organised special pujas, homas and other rituals throughout the day on Tuesday.
