Mysuru: The controversy over the saree draped on the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari, which was placed on the Golden Howdah atop the Howdah elephant Arjuna during Jumboo Savari, is refusing to die down and has become a topic of widespread discussion in the social media.
Initially, it was reported that the blue saree with magenta border that was draped on the idol was given by Parvathi, wife of Chief Minister Siddharamaiah who wanted to fulfil her vow. Parvathi, who avoided the limelight despite being the CM’s wife, visited the Chamundi Temple on all 10 days of the Dasara festivities and according to sources, she prayed for the well-being of her husband and son Yathindra Siddharamaiah who are set to fight the next Assembly elections.
