Most of the shops and business establishments have downed shutters since this morning, except some shops affiliated to the Mutt. Police have maintained a strict vigil in the wake of the bundh.

The Samputa Narasimha Mutt seer  has  reportedly sent the legal notice  seeking handing over of all assets as well as  account statements of the  Temple to the Mutt. It may be recalled here that the  Kukke Shree Subrahmanya Temple which is an A grade shrine of the Mujrai Department is the richest temple of Karnataka.

The Mutt and the Temple have been at loggerheads with each other since long on various issues.
