Mysore to get a Buddhist religious site
TNN 22 December 2009, 09:40pm IST
MYSORE: Fifteen years after it was planned, the Mysore City
Corporation is all set to inaugurate the Buddha Stupa. Ever since the
works were completed four years ago, the stupa has been awaiting
installation in Chamarajpuram adjacent to Ambedkar junction (Ballal
Circle). The MCC has spent Rs 25 lakh.
After Purushothama took charge as the mayor, he completed minor
pending works and the monument will be launched on December 27.
According to the mayor, a Buddhist monk has been appointed to conduct
daily prayers at the Stupa and the religious site will be open for
worshippers every day. Over 6,000 Buddhist monks will attend the
inaugural session and conduct mass prayers. This will help over 25,000
followers of Buddhism in the city, the mayor explained on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, he has asked the JnNURM special officer and DC, P
Manivannan, and corporation commissioner K S Raykar to provide the
details of the expenditure for the renovated city bus stand, which was
opened for public on November 1. This follows complaints of misuse of
JnNURM funds for the construction of the CBS. The mayor admitted that
the KSRTC's plans to complete the works will be delayed because the
plot next to the CBS from where the public transporter operates buses
to rural areas is under litigation.
