Sringeri Math Issues Caution As River Tunga Overflows

The Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, known as Sringeri Math, has cautioned devotees about the rising River Tunga, which is flowing above the danger mark due to heavy rainfall. Devotees are advised to stay away from riverbanks. The region received substantial rainfall and more devotees are expected during the sacred Chaturmasya period.

The Dakshinamnaya Sri Sharada Peetham, widely recognized as Sringeri Math, has issued a cautionary alert to devotees due to the River Tunga overflowing its banks.

Situated in Karnataka's Chikmagalur district, the Sri Sharada Peetham's official 'X' handle advised devotees to remain cautious and avoid the riverbanks as Sringeri recorded 190 mm of rainfall on July 15.

Weather enthusiasts and 'X' users shared videos highlighting the extent of flooding, with significant areas, including the temple's parking space, being inundated. Despite the challenging weather, a large influx of devotees is anticipated for the auspicious Chaturmasya period.
