Mysuru: Chamundeshwari temple closed for public from Sept 16-18

Mysuru: The Mysuru district administration has restricted public entry to the Sri Chamundeshwari temple in Mysuru for three days from September 16 to 18.

A press release, issued by the Deputy Commissioner, stated that the temple will be closed for public for a three-day period starting from Wednesday.

The move is a precautionary measure as the district administration is expecting a rise in the footfall of the devotees at the temple on account of the ‘Mahalaya Amavasye’, on September 17.

Barring emergency vehicles, the movement of private vehicles is restricted on the hill. The distribution of prasada by the donors and devotees has also been banned until further notice.
