Like every year, this year too hundreds of devotees thronged the historic temple in Bangalore to witness the rare phenomenon of sunrays falling on the Shivalinga in the sanctum sanctorum on Sankranti day (Jan 14).
But in contrary to this legend Scientists Jayanth Vyasanakere and Shyalaja of the Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium have claimed that sun rays fell on the Shivalinga not just on Sankranti (Pongal) but also on November 30 and December 1, every year.
