Mallya to offer gold-plated doors at Subramanya

United Breweries Group chief Vijay Mallya will offer a pair of gold-plated doors to the deity at the Subramanya temple here at 4 pm on Thursday.

During his visit to the temple in April this year, Mallya had taken a vow to present the doors to the deity, and the Rs-80 lakh gift made from 2.5 kg gold has now become a reality.

A group of artisans from Mala in Karkala taluk in the district, under the guidance of Sudhakar Dongre, had worked on the architectural wonder for two months. The gold-plated doors will adorn the entrance to the sanctum sanctorum of the temple.
