Kanaka Jayanti celebrated in city
MLC Dr. Yathindra Siddaramaiah flagged off the procession in front of Kote Anjaneyaswamy Temple at the Mysore Palace North Gate by showering flower petals to Nandi Dhwaja and the statue of Saint Kanakadasa placed atop a decorated vehicle.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Yathindra said Kanakadasa Jayanti is being celebrated in a grand manner for the past several years. He appealed the people to follow the preachings of the Saint for building an egalitarian society.
Former MLA and Samiti President M.K. Somashekar, in his address, said that the Jayanti of the great Saint Kanakadasa is being celebrated like a Mini Dasara in Mysuru. Highlighting the sacrifices of Kanakadasa, freedom fighter Sangolli Rayanna and other saints and warriors, he said the programme will sensitise the people on the messages of these great personalities.
