Hasanamba Temple to be opened on October 29
The historic Hasanamba Temple in Hassan will open its doors to the public from October 29 to November 11, as announced by the Hassan district administration. Excise Minister K.M. Shivalinge Gowda, who oversees the district, provided details on the preparations for the festival during a press conference. The temple will not admit devotees on the inaugural day, October 29, as it is designated for rituals performed by selected priests.
From the following day, visitors can enter the temple, with VIPs granted access between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. daily. VIPs must notify the district administration of their visit in advance to facilitate necessary arrangements. All other attendees are required to use vehicles provided by the administration, with exceptions for high-ranking officials who may visit by private means.
The administration will also illuminate key streets and coordinate with the police to ensure the festival's smooth execution. Notable attendees at the press conference included MLA H.P. Swaroop, Deputy Commissioner K.S. Lathakumari, Superintendent of Police Shubhanwita, and others.
