Mangaluru, Jun 13: All programmes at the Kuthar Sri Koragajja Daiva Adisthala are conducted properly under the supervision of the administrative committee. However, some individuals have created a Facebook account named ‘Devotees of Kuthar Koragajja’ and are soliciting money from the public. A complaint has been filed against this group.
In its clarification, the administrative committee of the Kuthar Adisthala Koragajja shrine stated, “The administrative committee of Kuthar Koragajja does not collect donations from the public online for any purpose. It is regrettable that individuals under the name ‘Devotees of Kuthar Koragajja’ are exploiting the devotion people have towards Koragajja Daiva and collecting money from them.
“There is no online service or collection of donations by the Kuthar Koragajja Daiva administrative committee. We urge the public not to respond to any social media publications appearing in the name of the Kuthar Koragajja shrine. Online solicitation of donations is spreading false information to the public and is also illegal.
“For all services offered at the shrine, the administrative committee issues receipts to devotees for any payments made. Therefore, the administrative board requests the public not to believe any false information being circulated on social media,” the committee added.
