Panchaloha Idol, Materials Stolen from Mariamma Temple
Mangaluru: As the monsoon gains momentum, thieves appear to be getting more active. Reports of frequent thefts in homes and temples are being received.
Miscreants broke into the precincts of Mariamma temple in Suratkal late Saturday night. They appear to have gained access through the southern door. By breaking open the main sanctuary, they took away many items.
They included a panchaloha idol of Durga Devi, three silver vessels and three silver facial masks of the deity, which may have been donated by her devotees.
The total value of goods stolen is estimated around Rs 1 lakh. A case has been registered in Suratkal police station.
There has been an order from the district administration to have CCTV cameras installed in all houses of worship. But it was not followed in this case, said a devotee.
Surathkal has seen 48 robberies in a span of 6 months. There is a serious threat. The theives are targetting, houses, temples, construction sites. The local police seem to be in pressure

Right, ya, Rampa?… Read more »

They have a huge trouble acknowledging dozens of names from daily ‘peaceful’ acts reported from all over the world. Instead, they keep repeating the same naathooraama, saadhwi, samjaaatha and now some Veerendra!!! LOL How does Beef Club produce so many geniuses?
How does Beef Club produce so many geniuses? – Wonders our RampaNNA Oh my!!!!! Oh my ‘guvel’! 🙂 Well, to answer that question, you must pop that q to our the members of the Original Beef Club. Like for eg – beloved HRD minister who boasted of her Yale ‘degree’ after doing some sightseeing in Disneyland and Neverland, and, some ex Physics professor AND his guru – our ‘phoreen balping’ Pravaadhi Sevaka who promised all Indians rs 15 lakhs, Subbi Swami – the guided missile (as opposed to misguided) who is now gunning for the Chief Economic Advisor’s blood, Pahlaj… Read more »
