Karkala, Jan 22: Another incident of hurting the religious sentiments of people who revere and worship Koragajja deity was reported from Edu village in the taluk.
It is said that the deity was allegedly shown in poor light by a person who donned the role of Koragajja. He uploaded his photo in Koragajja get-up in WhatsApp status in a senseless act.
Raveendra from Edu village reportedly wore the costumes and make-up of Koragajja on June 18. There have been certain other allegations against him. It is said that he works for a Yakshagana Mela.
It is said that when the issue was taken up with him over phone, Reveendra said that he had done nothing wrong and that even hereafter he will continue to post his status, duly depicting other characters. On the basis of hurting religious sentiments and communal harmony, a case against Raveendra has been registered in Karkala rural police station, based on a complaint filed by Chetan.
Police circle inspector, Sampath Kumar and other staff visited the residence of Raveendra and put together more information.

Sat, Jan 22 2022Having born in Mangalore and got educated in DK, I was/am ignorant about Koragajja. I will actively look for books on philosophy of Koragajja (I hope there is one) based on which people get offended that they are taking the whole issue beyond Dutch/French cartoons on philosophy that spurted out of desert where water is a rare commodity while our body is 70% composed of water - reaction by the believers, on cartoons is also equally frivolous, silly & stupid. No, nobody in my family also know about Koragajaa's philosophy other than that we should be afraid of Daiva, just like how we should be afraid of what our Muslim friends find it Deen ka Dawat or not. We are now entering a era where anyone and everyone can get offended knowing fully that the other person is completely ignorant of your philosophy....this episode is no different from that joker from Kerala who did not know what he was doing and was arrested for what he did for which digital footprint was present.

Sat, Jan 22 2022Mocking the worshipping thing of others not at all good for any one. After the repeated incidents like this people of state more interested in knowing who is Koragajja and its significance in Tulu Nadu.

Sat, Jan 22 2022Since Raveendra is working in Yakshagaana Mela, they can not call him 'Maanasika' also !

Sat, Jan 22 2022I think the accused is of lowest (or slightly above lowest caste) ....hence the problem of ""disturbing"" communal harmony...

Sat, Jan 22 2022Nobody should go against the sentiments of any religion. And I believe that Kiragajja is also very powerful.
