A wild tusker wandered into the Kukke Subrahmanya Temple premises, causing panic among devotees. Initially mistaken for the temple's resident elephant, it was later identified as a wild elephant.

Mangaluru: Kukke Sri Subrahmanya Temple will host the Champa Shashti festival from Nov 27 to Dec 12. The Champa Shashti Maharathotsava, a grand chariot festival, will take place on Dec 7.

After the rituals, the temple administration felicitated the couple at the temple office with a traditional shawl as a mark of respect.
