Mangaluru: On the occasion of Aati Amavasye thousands of devotees thronged the Narahari Shree Sadashiva Temple and Karinja Shree Karinjeshwara Temple and felt blessed after a Theertha Snana in the lakes of the temples.

Devotees lined up to take a holy dip in the Shankha, Chakra, Gada, Padma lakes of Narahari Shrine. Even at Karinja temple, devotees offered Bagina to Karinja lake and took a holy dip before having darshan of the Lord.

There is a tradition of newly weds visiting the two shrines on Aati Amavasye day and seeking blessings of the Lord.
