Mangalore Today News Network

Mangaluru, Mar 22, 2016: The 26 feet tall Kalasha at the Mahaveer Circle at Pumpwell in Mangaluru  has been shifted to a nearby spot on March 21, Monday in order to facilitate construction of a flyover in the area.

In fact the fly over works had commenced  in December last year. Though the Mahaveer  Circle was then demolished,  the Kalasha was left untouched but has now been shifted.

A crane was used to shift the Kalasha which was inaugurated as early as 2006 by Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari Dr D Veerendra Heggade.

A leader of the Jain community has said the MCC has  earlier approved the  shifting of the Kalasha to a 22 cents land located  near Mahaveer Circle.
