Mangalore, Jan 10: The religious meeting connected with the 'Astabandha Brahmakalashotsava' was held at Lord Mahalingeshwara Temple of Kavoor on Friday January 9.

Delivering the benedictory speech on the occasion, Sri Vishwesha Teerta Swamiji of Pejawar Math said that temples are the centres where one can get himself purified of the filth that gets accumulated internally. Therefore, every one must visit the temples daily, he advised.
