BENGALURU: The Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments (Muzrai) department is planning to launch a new initiative to deliver prasadam from major temples across the state to the doorsteps of devotees after Sankranti.
This service will be available online, and devotees can book their preferred prasad from various temples across the state. The department plans to tie up with private companies or the postal department to facilitate door-to-door delivery of prasadam. The cost of the prasadam and delivery charges will be fixed and devotees can pay online.
The initiative aims to provide devotees with the convenience of receiving prasadam from their favourite temples without having to physically visit them.
In another measure, a qeueue system has been implemented at Dharmasthala on the lines of the Tirupati temple. A spacious building has been constructed with seating arrangements for devotees, food facilities and childcare rooms, among other amenities.This is the first time such a system has been implemented in the state.
The Muzrai department is now considering introducing this system at other major Muzarai temples for the benefit of devotees. Devotees flock to temples like Kukke Subrahmanya, Chamundi Hills, Kollur Mookambika, Kateel Durgaparameshwari and Nanjangud Srikanteshwara temple. The state government is expected to introduce the queue system at these temples, and a decision is awaited.
