Jagatika Lingayat Mahasabha seeks management of new Anubhava Mantapa in Basavakalyan
The Jagatika Lingayat Mahasabha (JLM) is lobbying the Karnataka government to manage the newly constructed Anubhava Mantapa in Basavakalyan. The organization expressed concerns over construction delays and funding, urging the government to ensure the site's sanctity.
Why it matters
The management of this cultural and historical site involves significant public expenditure and touches on regional religious and political sensitivities in India.
Jagatika Lingayat Mahasabha (JLM) is interested in day-to-day management of the Anubhava Mantapa being constructed in Basavakalyan in Bidar district.
At a meeting in Belagavi on September 20, members and office-bearers passed a resolution to request the government of Karnataka to entrust the complete management of the institution to JLM.
This resolution was adopted unanimously during the two-day Annual General Meeting and National Executive Committee meeting. Management of the institution would mean taking decisions regarding the activities to be conducted there, and what should or should not be included within the premises, they stated.
Responsibility for this initiative, including meeting Basava-aligned seers and contacting pro-Basava organisations, was entrusted to the National Vice-President Basavaraj Dhannur who hails from Bidar district.
