Date:

Kodagu (Karnataka): To please the god of rain for good monsoon, Karnataka Water Minister M. B. Patil on Sunday performed a special prayer here on the bank of Cauvery River.

Severely hit by the drought, the state water resources department has decided to spend Rs. 20 lakh for offering poojas to the deities this year.

“It is the duty of all of us to respect our mother, pray our mother and honour our mother. That is what we have done today because in our dharma, the Sanskriti of the nation we always say pray the god. Cauvery has blessed us since century,” Patil told the media.
