Bengaluru, Dec 22: The coronavirus pandemic that has hit the economies hard has also left a deep impact on the revenues of temples in Karnataka. The rich temples in the state have been able to collect only a small portion of what they had done last year.
The state muzrai department has 34,556 temples under its control. Temples with an annual income of over Rs 25 lac have been considered as A category temples. These temples have collected only a fraction of their last year s figure so far.
