Large number of people thronged the Ramanathaswamy Temple, which is dedicated to the Hindu God.

The holy place was decorated with bright coloured flowers and people were paying respect to the shiva-lingam inside the complex.
In Karnataka's Kalaburagi, a 25-feet tall Shivling was a major attraction as the idol was covered in orange and brown colour of peas along with marigold flowers.
