Like last year, the Mangalore Dasara will be organised by Kudroli Gokarnanatha Temple without the Shobha Yatra and the mass feeding of people this time also. Harikrishna Bantwal, member of temple development committee, said that as per the directions of the district administration the committee decided not to hold Shobha Yatra of Navadurga, Sharada, and Narayana Guru idols on October 15. Instead a small procession will be on the premises of Kudroli Sri Gokarnanatha Temple and Sharada and Navadurga idols will be immersed in the temple pond. The temple will provide food packets to each of the devotees visiting. The 10-day festival will be held by complying with norms laid down by the district administration and ensure social distance and wearing of masks.
