The Hasanamba festival, one of the region's major religious gatherings, wrapped up its 12-day run having attracted more than 30 lakh visitors. The festival, held annually at the Hasanamba Temple, continued its tradition of drawing devotees and pilgrims from across South India.
Financial collections from the festival have been substantial this year. Revenue generated through ticket sales and other sources, excluding devotional offerings deposited in the temple's hundis, has already reached ₹25.60 crore. Temple authorities are preparing to open the hundis and complete the final accounting of all monetary contributions received during the festival period.
The strong visitor turnout and revenue figures underline the festival's significance as both a spiritual event and an important economic activity for the surrounding region. The temple administration is expected to release a comprehensive financial statement following the completion of hundi counting and related administrative procedures.
