Best Time of the Year is Here When Mangalore Looks Most Beautiful

September 30: Mangalore which has several Shakti Peethas is all set for the Navaratri or Dasara which started Sunday. The City has been decked up with lights and decorations which makes it look beautiful. A round on the streets of Mangalore with lights is the best thing one can do in the evenings.
The Grand celebration began at Kateel Durgaparameshwari Temple, Polali Rajarajeshwari Temple, Bappanadu Durgaparameshwari Temple in Mulki, Kollur Mookambika Temple and others. Since the Dasara holidays for schools and colleges are given from October 1 to 15 in Dakshina Kannada, organisers are expecting a good turnout of devotees.
Mangalore Dasara was launched on a colourful note with the consecration of the idol of Goddess Sharada at Kudroli Gokarnanatha Temple. Along with the idol of Goddess Sharada, the idols of Goddesses Navadurga — Shailaputhri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghata, Kooshmanda, Siddidathri, Mahagowri, Mahakali, Kathyayini and Skanda Matha, and Lord Ganesha were also been installed. The Mangalore Dasara will conclude with a grand procession on the day of Vijaya Dashami with the immersion of Navadurga and Sharada idols at Kudroli Gokarnanatheshwara Temple pond.
