Over two lakh people including the locals witnessed the procession of the Dashamantapas. Each of the Dashamantapa was distinct and outdid the other in terms of size, design, size and concept thereby enthralling the spectators.
Pete Sri Rama Mandira had taken the responsibility of Dashamantapas. The temple has been taking lead of the event since 150 years now, right from the era when Kodagu was ruled by Haleri dynasty.
