Mysore/Mysuru: Today is Subramanya Shashti and the famed
Sri Subramanyeshwara Swamy Temple at Siddalingapura on Mysuru-Bengaluru Highway that usually buzzes with activity wore a deserted look as the District Administration had banned the entry of devotees due to COVID-19 epidemic. Subramanya Shashti is a big festival in the Margashira Maasa dedicated to Lord Subramanya. Priests call it Skanda Shashti.
Instead of devotees, a large number of Policemen were present in and around the Temple to prevent the entry of devotees from early in the morning. Usually, devotees throng the temple before the day breaks on this festival day. But this morning, they stayed away from the Temple and instead offered their prayers from the other side of the Highway.
