- The Krishnarajamudi Crown Coronation Festival was held grandly on Monday in Melukote as part of the Ashadha Jatra, with thousands of devotees attending.
- On the fourth day of the Krishnarajamudi Brahmotsava, the diamond-studded crown was placed on the idol of Cheluvanarayana, seated on Garuda with Sridevi and Bhudevi, around 8:30 pm, followed by a procession and mahamangalarati before the festival concluded at 10 pm.
- The crown was brought from the Mandya district treasury under police escort, its seal verified by district officials, and then handed over to temple authorities in joint custody.
- MLA Darshan Puttannaiah arranged lamp decorations at the temple's rajagopura, and police bandobast was in place to prevent any untoward incidents.
What to watch next
