Mysuru: The six-day famed Suttur Jathra Mahotsava conducted by Suttur Mutt began at Suttur in Nanjangud taluk this morning. The Jathra Mahotsava is celebrated every year to commemorate the birth anniversary of the founder of the institution. Inaugurating the ‘Samskrutika Mela’, actor Shiva Rajkumar recalled his association with JSS. Stating that he had visited the JSS campus several times when his daughter was doing her Post-Graduate Medical Degree, he said that he had relished ‘Annadasoha’. Recalling the help extended by Suttur Mutt when his mother (late Parvathamma Rajkumar) founded ‘Shakti Dhama’ a home for shelterless and destitute women in Mysuru, Shiva Rajkumar said the Suttur Jathra gives a pleasant and religious experience to everyone. Stating that the Suttur Mutt was an excellent location that is ideal for film shooting, the actor said that he was visiting the Jathra as a humble human being and not as an actor. He wished that great actors and cricketers like Sanchin Tendulkar emerge from Suttur Mutt in the coming days.
