Globalisation will not affect Kannada culture: Nallur

Addressing the gathering during the inauguration of ‘Sanskritika Vaibhava’, as part of annual festival of Ganapthi temple in Kushalnagar, he said that if people of any region have to lead a good life and peaceful life, their culture and traditions will have to be good as well.

“The annual festivals of the temples are the symbols of cultural life and unity of people in the region. These festivals help in keeping away the caste system as people come united to celebrate the festivals forgetting the differences which would separate them otherwise,” he said.

Programme was inaugurated by Arameri Kalancheri Mutt Shanthamallikarjuna Swamiji who said that the annual festivals help in developing religious and spiritual bent of mind among the people.

Donors P S Bellyappa and Krishnojirao were felicitated. Temple Committee President V N Vasanth Kumar presided over the programme. ZP Member V P Shashidhar among others were present.
