Temple treasurer Padmaraj R noted that the Kudroli Shri Gokarnanatha Kshetra, established by Narayana Guru, stands as a living example of his ideals - a space free from caste discrimination and religious hatred, where all live with brotherhood. Representatives from 276 Billava organisations across India and abroad are expected to participate in the event, which is anticipated to draw over one lakh people who follow Narayana Guru's teachings.
