Dharmika Parishat. Kashekodi Suryanarayana Bhat, Member of Karnataka Dharmika Parishat stated that earlier the ritual was conducted for the welfare of state administration, now it will be
for the welfare of the people. Now, the ritual would be named ‘Namaskara’. The ritual was conducted in the famous temples of Puttur, Subramanya, Kollur, Melkote, and others in the
then-Mysuru kingdom.
