Chikkamagaluru: A large number of devotees thronged to the Deviramma temple on Thursday to have a glimpse of the presiding deity, Bindiga Deviramma, which is accessible to devotees only on Naraka Chaturdashi. The journey to the temple, located on a 3,000-foot hill, was challenging and resulted in numerous slips and falls, leading to injuries among the crowd.
The slippery slopes, exacerbated by recent rains, caused many attendees to sustain fractures in their hands and legs. Sindhu and Divya from Bengaluru suffered leg fractures, while Jayamma from Mangaluru experienced low blood pressure during the visit, as reported by Deccan Herald. A youth named Venu from Tarikere sustained a severe head injury and has been hospitalised.
Police and fire service personnel were stationed at various points along the hill. Additionally, KSRTC arranged special buses from Kadur, Birur, and Chikkamagaluru to Mallenahalli to accommodate the influx of visitors.
