Mysuru: With the 3-day Kumbha Mela scheduled to take place at Triveni Sangama at T. Narasipur in Mysuru from Feb. 10 to 12, a preliminary meeting was held in this regard at Suttur Mutt, foot of Chamundi Hill, this morning.
Addressing the meeting, Adichunchanagiri Mysuru Shakha Mutt Seer Sri Someshwaranatha Swamiji said that the first Triveni Sangama Kumbha Mela was held in 1989 on the lines of Maha Kumbh Mela of North India.
Pointing out that the Triveni Sangama is the confluence of Kaveri, Kapila and Sphatika rivers, he said that the Kumbha Mela is generally held once in three years. But this Kumbha Mela (Feb. 10 to 12, 2025) is taking place after a gap of 6 years due to COVID pandemic, he said adding that the event features Ankurarpane and Ganapathi Homa at Agasthyeshwara Temple, flag hoisting, a variety of religious and cultural programmes, processions, performance of other Homas, etc.
Suttur Mutt Seer Sri Shivarathri Deshikendra Swamiji urged the District Administration to construct a bridge from Sopanakatte to Yaagashaale and also to make proper preparations for the conduct of Ganga Aarti, which would be one of the star attractions of the event.
