On Friday, October 13th, 2025, Hasanamba Temple in Hassan, India witnessed a massive influx of devotees, with as many as 3.7 lakh people visiting the temple to have darshan of the presiding deity.

According to district minister Krishna Byre Gowda, who is monitoring the situation, the waiting time for darshan is likely to increase further as large crowds continue to arrive at the temple. Additionally, there was no darshan between 2 pm and 3:30 pm on Saturday, and from 12 midnight to 6 am on Sunday, due to special rituals scheduled as per tradition. The minister also stated that there will be no darshan from Sunday midnight to Monday 6 am, which may further increase the waiting time for devotees.
