Damage control? DKShi offers silver chopper model to temple

Bengaluru: On an astrologer’s advice KPCC president DK Shivakumar on Friday, December 18 offered a helicopter replica to the famous Mylaralingeshwara temple in Hoovina Hadagali of Bellary district.

It is gathered that in 2017 Shivakumar took a helicopter ride to the temple including the famous Mylaralingeshwara temple and this goes against the belief that nothing should cross over the temple, ever since, the KPCC President has had a run of foul luck.

This was diagnosed by an astrologer, who also advised remedial measures, like puja and a silver offering in the shape of a helicopter, to seek forgiveness.

Following the astrologer’s advice, Shivakumar got a model of a helicopter designed in silver, weighing 1kg, and offered it to the temple idol, Mylara Lingeshwara, along with local Congress leaders, including the former minister and MLA PT Parameshwara Naik.

Speaking after offering the helicopter replica Shivakumar said, ”I subsequently came to know from the swamis and spiritual advisors that we are not supposed to come to this temple in a helicopter. It was a mistake. I am now visiting the temple to seek forgiveness.”
