Kundapur, Oct 2: Karnataka state minister of water resources D K Shivakumar visited Varahi dam near Hole Shankaranarayana of Hosangadi village and inspected the work in progress there.

Former MLA Gopala Poojary, Tunga dam project chief engineer Yathishchandra, Varahi chief engineer B Padmanabha, engineers Prasanna, Kiran, N G Bhat, Preetham, Ashok and others were present.



Shivakumar later visited Hole Shankaranarayana temple near Varahi dam and took part in special pooja. Shivakumar’s wife Usha and daughter Aishwarya visited Karnataka power corporation underground power unit at Hosangadi separately.

Answering the questions by news reporters about Varahi project and supply of Varahi water from Bharathkal near Halady, he said that there are plans about implementing Baladande irrigation project depending on the water level in Varahi. “Nothing can be said about supplying water from Bharathkal to Udupi right now. I will let you know about it later,” he said.

Shivakumar with his wife and daughter visited Kollur Mookambika temple and offered special pooja to the deity. The temple visit is significant considering CBI and ED investigations against Shivakumar.

    Well observed Sheela.

    God too observes. Everyone, the priests included.

    In Kannada we call it 'Kaalana Mahime'... 'Kaalaya Tasmaye Namah' in Sanskrit.

    It's 'TIME' which does it. Moreover it is 'KaliKaala'...where money just seems to over rule anything.

    I have seen it from very close quarters...really! And have come to a conclusion .not to give much or any thought to it anymore.

    You go with devotion to see only the Lord right? Do it and forget the rest. To each their own!! Whys
    should we bother? God is there No?

    Think DKS is the only minister who collects offerings every year matching some of
    the richest temples in India.
    His brand of devotees are of a different type though
