The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- A Ganesh immersion procession was held on Thursday night in Puttur as part of the 60th-year public Ganeshotsav organised by the Mahalingeshwara Temple area public Ganeshotsav committee.
- More than 12 tableaux displaying scenes accompanied the chariot carrying the Ganesh idol, performing at designated spots along the route.
- Police instructed organisers near Gandhikatte around 10 pm to stop using loudspeakers on the tableaux because of the late hour.
- Organisers objected, and after a discussion the tableau performances were stopped entirely from Gandhikatte onwards.
- Spectators who had waited along the roadside to watch the tableaux went home, showing why noise restrictions can cut short long-planned festival programmes.
What to watch next
- Whether organisers raise the loudspeaker timing issue with police or festival authorities before next year's procession
- Any police clarification on night-time sound limits for religious processions
- Reaction from local representatives who attended the procession
