In a deeply sorrowful turn of events, Sri Siddalinga Mahaswamiji (64), the revered spiritual figurehead of the Duradundeswara Siddhasansthana Matha in Arabhavi, attained Lingaikya following a sudden heart attack.

The distressing incident transpired within the sacred confines of the Matha, where Swamiji experienced severe chest discomfort. He was promptly admitted to a private hospital in Gokak.

Regrettably, despite the best efforts of the medical team, the treatment proved ineffective and the revered spiritual leader breathed his last.
