Karnataka Devotees Throw Footwear At Screen During Minister Puja Over Long Wait

Karnataka Chief Minister <b>D K Shivakumar</b> faced severe backlash from angry devotees after a special puja at the <b>Hasanamba temple</b> halted general darshan queues during the Deepavali festivities on Sunday. Devotees who had been waiting for hours for darshan expressed their frustration by throwing slippers at an LED screen that was broadcasting visuals of the Chief Minister and his wife performing rituals inside the sanctum sanctorum. The <b>Hasanamba temple</b> traditionally opens only once a year during Deepavali, drawing massive crowds, while a video of the incident quickly went viral on social media platforms.
