'Ganga Aarti' inspires Karnataka to hold Cauvery Aarti at famous Bengaluru lake

India Today  

The Karnataka government is set to organise a grand religious ceremony at Bengaluru’s Sankey Tank as a tribute to the River Cauvery, drawing inspiration from the Ganga Aarti in Varanasi. The event, named Cauvery Aarti, is scheduled to take place on the evening of March 21, with priests from the pilgrimage city in Uttar Pradesh being flown in for the occasion. Cauvery serves as the primary water source for approximately 70 per cent of Bengaluru’s population, supplying 2,225 million litres of water to the city daily. Sankey Tank is widely regarded as the cleanest lake in Bengaluru, and authorities had previously conducted a special prayer when it was filled to capacity a few years ago.
