Kadaba, Aug 26, 2026: Heavy rains lashed Kukke Subrahmanya and surrounding areas in Dakshina Kannada district on Tuesday, causing the Darpana Theertha stream to overflow.

The water level in the Darpana Theertha river rose significantly following continuous rainfall, with floodwaters reaching the entrance of the Adi Subrahmanya temple.

The water entering the temple premises caused considerable inconvenience to devotees visiting Kukke Subrahmanya for darshan and other rituals. The heavy rain also led to waterlogging and other disruptions in the surrounding areas.

However, rainfall eased on Wednesday, with sunny conditions prevailing in the region. As a result, the water level in the Darpana Theertha river has receded considerably.
