Nanjangud: Hundreds of devotees have been put to a lot of inconvenience at the historical Srikanteshwara Swamy Temple at Nanjangud as the Temple has been closed for all kinds of sevas and rituals owing to the death of a woman in the Temple premises. Devotees can only have darshan and they cannot perform any kind of puja to the deity.
The Temple will be closed for the next two days. As per tradition, if any death occurs near the Temple premises or on the road that leads to the Temple, no ritual will be held at the Temple till the body is cremated. Once the cremation is over, the Temple is purified with Shuddhikarana rituals and only then the pujas will be held. This is the reason why the cremation is performed early in every case.
