Mallya to present doors worth Rs. 80 lakh to Subramanya Temple

Subramanya: Vijay Mallya of the United Breweries Group will offer two gold-plated doors to Subrahmanya Temple at 4:00 p.m. today.

Mallya, who had visited the temple this April, had vowed to offer two gold-plated doors. Accordingly, he will present the two doors made of 2.5kg gold, worth Rs. 80 lakh.

The doors have been created by a group of artists in Mala, Karkala under the guidance of master artist Sudhakar Dongre. The group took 2 months to complete the two doors, which are now rare works of art.

The doors will be placed at the entrance of the temple’s sanctum sanctorum.
