Karnataka to hold Cauvery Aarti at famous Bengaluru lake

.

The Karnataka government is set to organise a grand religious ceremony at Bengaluru’s Sankey Tank as a tribute to the River Cauvery, drawing inspiration from the Ganga Aarti in Varanasi.

The event, named Cauvery Aarti, is scheduled to take place on the evening of Mar 21, with priests from the pilgrimage city in Uttar Pradesh being flown in for the occasion.

This marks the first such initiative by the Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), which began preparations at Sankey Tank on Mar 16.
