A gold Sri Chakra is slated for installation in Basrur, Karnataka, following ceremonial rites performed at Nepal’s Pashupatinath Temple.
The Times of India reports that a new gold Sri Chakra is being proposed for the town of Basrur in Karnataka. The sacred geometric diagram, revered in Hindu worship, is planned to be crafted in gold and installed in a local temple.
Before finalising the project, priests conducted traditional rituals at Nepal’s historic Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, seeking divine blessings for the undertaking. The ceremonies included chanting of mantras and offerings, as per customary practice for such religious installations.
Officials and community leaders said the gold Sri Chakra will enhance the spiritual significance of the Basrur shrine and attract devotees from the region. The proposal is currently under review, with further details expected to be released by the temple committee.
