Mangaluru: To mark Vishu, the traditional new year celebrated by the majority in Dakshina Kannada District, thousands of devotees rushed to pilgrimages such as Kukke Subrahmanya Temple, Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Temple, and Puttur Mahalingeshwara Temple among others. It was witnessed that the devotees offered special poojas on the start of their new year.

In Puttur Mahalingeshwara Temple, the devotees were standing in the queue since morning for darshan. It was a double celebration at this temple in Puttur as it is also the annual festival of the temple.

Back in the City, people were seen thronging Mangaladevi Temple, Sharavu Mahaganapati Temple and Kadri Manjunatheshwara Temple. It is a common scene in the households of the coastal region to keep an offering called ‘Kani’ to the God to mark the beginning of the traditional new year. There were also public celebrations by various associations.
