Karnataka govt to examine proposal for golden chariot for Chamundi Hill temple in Mysuru

MYSURU: The state government has proposed to construct a golden chariot for Goddess Chamundeshwari atop Chamundi Hills at an estimated cost of Rs 100 crore. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has forwarded a proposal to the principal secretary of the Revenue Department with instructions to examine it and to place a formal proposal before the government.

Legislative Council member Dinesh Gooligowda had written a letter to the CM citing the historical importance of the Chamundi Hill temple.
