Mysuru: The second Ashada Shukravara atop the Chamundi Hill offering puja to Chamundeshwari continued evoking ‘pujya bhava,’ from thousands of devotees who had started gathering from as early as 3 am today.
Devotees were seen parking their vehicles near the helipad and taking free bus rides atop the hill and as one of the faithful Nagaraj, who never misses a single Ashada Shukravara since the past 15 years, speaking to Star of Mysore said, “Earlier, there was no restriction to take the vehicles up the Hill. However, over the years, the rush during the Ashada Fridays grew and the District Administration stepped in and streamlined the rush. It is well-organised now and what former District Minister S.A. Ramdas did a couple of years ago by organising free trips from the Helipad is laudable.”
