The Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation house committee held its meeting at the Sri Bhavani Shankar Temple pushkarini on November 13, 2026. The meeting took place at the Mayor’s chamber. Former Mayor Eresh Anchatgeri chaired it.
Members discussed the long history of the ancient temple tank in Old Hubballi, its present condition, and the steps required for its revival. The temple is one of the old structures in the area, and the pushkarini issue has drawn public attention for some time.
Public Suggestions Invited Within 15 Days
The committee decided to collect information from the public. Residents can send historical details, old documents, photographs, and written suggestions about the pushkarini. They can also describe its earlier form, how it was used, the problems it faces now, and ideas for its restoration.
People have 15 days to submit these papers. All applications must reach committee secretary Vithal Tubake at the Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation office. Applicants should clearly write their name, address and phone number. The committee will check the documents and discuss them in the next meeting.
Other Decisions Taken
- The committee will write an official letter to the Archaeology Department asking for available historical records of the Bhavani Shankar Temple and the pushkarini.
- It will gather details of earlier road works and other development works carried out in the area from local corporators.
- Committee members will visit the site on 17 November 2026 for a ground inspection to see the present condition and the works needed.
- It will also collect research material and records from the History Research Department of Karnataka University.
Once the public suggestions, archaeology records, university material and the site inspection report are ready, the committee will meet again. At that meeting it will decide the further steps for the full revival and development of the pushkarini.
Those who attended the 13 November meeting included committee members Niranjan Hiremath, Chandrika Mestri, Nazir Ahmed Honyal and Dr M.R. Patil. Committee secretary Vithal Tubake was also present. All of them shared their views during the discussion.
The committee has asked residents who have any old records or clear information about the pushkarini to come forward within the next 15 days so that the revival work can move forward with proper details.
