There was a charged up devotional  atmosphere around Veerapur Oni where Veerabhadreshwar Temple exists. The temple premises was crowded with  Devotees  who turned up in large numbers today to take part in the ‘Jathra’ mahotsav.

As part of the ritual, while many devotees including women chose to walk on the makeshift fire ‘kunda’  , some men were seen piercing  their tongue through thin iron rod. “It looks like an  unusual display of torture to body but we are voluntarily doing it  and there is no pain at all. It is the mercy of veerabhadrewhara swamy who give enough powers to withstand the pain” said a devotee who underwent such an ordeal.
