** The High Court of Karnataka has halted construction at the revered Chamundeshwari Temple in Mysuru, a significant spiritual site in southern India, due to a fresh dispute over preservation and management. The move comes after a writ petition filed by Pramoda Devi Wadiyar, a direct descendant of the Mysuru royal family, citing a 2020 High Court judgment establishing the family’s rights to oversee temple affairs. The interim order temporarily suspends construction, giving the High Court time to examine the case further.
