In the background of percussion instruments playing the melodious tune of a popular devotional song, `Entha andha entha chanda Sharadamma’, a smiling idol of Goddess Sharada, which was inside the Kudroli Sri Gokarnanatha Temple in Kudroli, was carried gently by devotees and volunteers to the tableaux parked outside the temple.
