-A person from Tiptur did the 'Urulu Seve' or the 'Rolling Seva'(The person lies down and then rolls on the floor around a particular path to offer his prayers).
-Ladies from Belgaum had got gold ornaments to offer him.
-'Can we take little mud from the area,we want to sprinkle in our Tulasi growing mud pots'? ask ladies.
-Muslim fans bring the the holy Koran as offerings.
-Christian fans walk around with candles in silence.
-Old,disabled take help of able people to visit the place.
-People are praying for their brothers job or for their fathers illness to be cured infront of the abode.
-Couples put their young babies on the abode,and seek his blessings to do good for the baby.
-Expectant mothers doing a regular routine visit to the abode praying that they are blessed with a boy child.

Well,what is the reference to in this post.I am not referring to Lord Venkateswara's abode in Tirupathi or Lord Manjunatha's abode in Dharmashatala or Lord Shiva in Murudeswara.The
reference is to Dr.Rajkumar's burial site.The burial site seems to have created job opportunities for 30 odd people selling flowers,fruits,ice creams,post cards.There is even a photographer whose job is clicking pictures of people who want to get their photos clicked at the site.

People raising him to the level of god is senseless and purely
fanaticism.Fanaticism of any kind is bad and wish people come to their senses.
