Once the video got viral hundreds of devotees rushed to the Virakta Kalmath and expressed anger and outrage towards the Kottur Swamiji and urged seer not to return to the Math.
Devotees thronged the mutt demanding the ouster of the 56-year-old pontiff while some other followers said the allegations were false and it was an attempt to defame him. It was then the elders who pacified both the groups and controlled the situation.
Sources said the Lingayat mutt is 400 years old and Kottureshwara became the peethadhipathi in 1995. The video is suspected to have been shot by the seer’s former driver, Mallaiah Herur, who told media he had been “procuring” women for the pontiff for a decade now. The woman seen in the video is said to have been brought to the mutt to cook for the seer in 2010.
