Beltangady, 25 Nov 2016: The state level exhibition was begun at SDM High School campus, near here on Thursday, November 24, as part of Lakshadeepotsav of Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala, here.

 

DK zilla panchayat president Meenakshi Shantigodu after inaugurating the exhibition lauded the Sri Kshetra Dharasthala Rural Development Project (SKDRDP) in empowering the economically weaker people in remote villages.

 

 

Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari D Veerendra Heggade in his presidential address said, ‘The exhibition aims at sharing knowledge. The annual celebrations in temples ought to be well organized to rekindle religiousness. The indulgence in luxurious celebrations should not disregard the basic essence and religious practices. The religious celebrations should serve to create healthy society,’ said Heggade.  

 

SDM Education Society deputy chairman Professor S Prabhakar was present.  

 

Sunil Pandit welcomed the gathering. Abraham James proposed vote of thanks.

 

There are 198 stalls at the state level exhibition open to all from 9.00am to 9.00pm.
