20,000 Women Run for Sacred Cloth at Kateelu Durga Temple

Original: ಪೂಜೆ

Around 20,000 women took part in a traditional run at the Kateelu Durga temple in Karnataka to receive the deity's sacred leftover garment, or sheshavastra. The event coincided with Lalita Panchami, which drew roughly 50,000 devotees to the temple. The ritual, in which women race to obtain the cloth considered auspicious, drew wide attention across Karnataka.

Why now: The mass participation of thousands of women in the traditional race at the temple during Navaratri festivities made it a widely shared story.
