Mangaluru Dasara this time will see more lights as Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has decided to illuminate streets and buildings around Mangaladevi temple in addition to Kudroli Gokarnanatha temple.

Nominated councillor Radhakrishna on Thursday told the ordinary meeting of MCC here that the Gokarnanatha temple management was illuminating streets where the Mangaluru Dasara Shobha Yatre was being taken out, including Kudroli Temple, Mannagudde, Lady Hill Circle, PVS Junction, Navabharat Circle, Hampankatta, Car Street, and New Chitra Theatre.

However, he said the temple management appears unable to arrange lighting this year because of drop in income following the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, it would be apt on the part of the corporation to arrange lighting as Mangaluru Dasara is one of the few notable events of the city.
