Nice to see the pictures of our homeland. Our house (mel botha bettu house) is very neary to this divine place. Mr.Uncle Annanda Shetty (known as Abbanna - abbu)is an active member of this temple. My dad and mother-in-law have gone to attend this programm. As we are bron and brought up in Mumbai , it feels happy to see such a huge programm taking place in our homeland. But at the same time we feel sad that we could not attend this programm due to our busy schedule. With the blessings of Shri Vishnumoorthy and Shri Durgaparmeshwari we will visit this holy shrine at the earliest.
