District administration has restricted the event only to the local populace
The Panchalinga Darshan began on a muted note at Talakad in T.Narsipur taluk of Mysuru district on Thursday, sans devotees.
Conducted as per the Hindu almanac based on astrological calculations it is not an annual event and the gap between the two editions tend to vary from 3 to 12 years. The previous Panchalinga Darshana was conducted in 2013.
But being held amidst the pandemic and the imperatives of minimising public gathering, the district administration has restricted the event only to the local populace. The event entails the devout to have darshan of all the five Shivalingas in the region – Sri Vaidyanatheshwara, Sri Maruleshwara, Mudukothore Sri Malliakarjunaswamy, Sri Pathaleshwara and Sri Arakeshwara – on the same day.
