Chamrajanagar: Women sacrifice chickens in the name of ‘Corona Maaramma’
Chamrajanagar: In an incident that occurred at the Ganga Matha road near the district’s centre on Tuesday, some people reportedly began worshiping Goddess 'Corona Maaramma Devi', in which women slaughtered 9 chickens as a sacrifice to the newly venerated deity.
In the Ganga Matha and Kurubara streets, special poojas had been organized which were being held since the past few days, and on the 8th day, which fell on Tuesday, the people in the region reportedly drew rangolis in front of their homes.
“9 chickens have been sacrificed for the welfare of the world. Even in the past, when such diseases came about, we did the same in these streets. We have undertaken these poojas hoping for everybody’s welfare. Nobody told us to do this. These are our collective beliefs”, the locals said.
