Temporary visitor restrictions imposed at Parasurama Theme Park starting October 9
Udupi: Karkala Tahsildar has issued an order temporarily banning the entry of tourists and the public to the Parasurama Theme Park located under Yarlapadi Gram Panchayat limits in Karkala Taluk. This ban will remain in effect from August 9th and will continue until the end of November.
The Parasurama Theme Park was inaugurated on January 27th earlier this year and was initially opened to the public and tourists. However, due to pending work at the theme park, entry was prohibited until September 23rd. This temporary closure was made to facilitate the completion of various tasks, including increasing the strength of the Parashurama idol, installing a lightning arrester, applying anti-rust coating, and conducting other finishing works on the idol.
Meanwhile, since the construction work has not been completed yet, additional time is needed to finish the pending tasks. As a result, the theme park will remain closed until the end of November 2023, as per the order.
