Mangaluru, Oct 2: A rarest of rare kind of temple in functioning in the coastal district of Dakshina Kannada. It is the Mahatma Gudi (shrine) at the renowned Sri Brahma Baidarkala Garadi Kshetra of Kankanady in the city. This shrine was decorated with flowers on Wednesday, October 2, on account of Gandhi Jayanti and special pooja was offered to the Father of the Nation.

Every year on October 2 fruits, milk and banana offering is given to the idol of Mahatma Gandhiji in this shrine. In addition, on the same day Pallakki Utsava is also held for the idol of Lord Ganapati and Brahma Baidarkala.

The shrine of Mahatma Gandhi was decorated in a special manner on the occasion of his 150th birth anniversary. A special Pooja was conducted at 9 am on Wednesday. Gandhi 150 - Chintana Yatra will also get flagged off from here.

Mahathma Gandhi had visited the city of Mangaluru on three separate occasions during the freedom struggle and inspired the people of Dakshina Kannada district. So, in this shrine, dedicated to him, his non-violence ideals are worshiped. As cleanliness was one of the thoughts, which Mahatma Gandhi mooted, the same is being given utmost importance in this Kshetra.

    Please do not build temple for any Human being. He was a great person.

    If you like or love him then try to live like him and do at least 10% of the sacrifice he did for the country. Gandiji will be happy.
