Today (07-03-2023) was a wonderful day for me as I got a chance to attend the Parkala Annual Festivities at the Shri Mahalingeshwar Mahaganapathi and Shri Mahishamardhini Temple. The festivities were in full swing with lots of people flocking to the temple to take part in the celebration.
I
started our evening by taking a long walk from my home in Eshwarnagar to the
Mahalingeshwar Temple. The road was surrounded by lush green vegetation on both
sides, and we enjoyed the fresh air and scenic views.
Once
I reached the temple, we were greeted by the vibrant atmosphere of the
Rathostava Celebrations. The sounds of drums, trumpets, melody of saxophone and
cymbals filled the air, adding to the festive mood. We then attended a
Saxophone Concert by Shri Damodara Sherigar and his team, which was an absolute
treat for the ears.
As we
were heading back home, we met with the brother of my old friend late Dr.
Hoskere Shivaswami, and we had a long and engaging conversation about various
topics.
During
the festivities, we remembered two important personalities to whom we are indebted a lot- Shri Gururaja
Joisa and Shri P Shrinivas Upadhya. They are the main pillars of the grand
festivities of Parkala, and they sold the land to us where we currently reside
in Eshwarnagar.
