As per a few media reports, more than four crore women have already traveled in government buses under the Shakti Free Bus scheme in just 12 days. And the price of these tickets has already cost over INR 100 crores, which is huge.
Though pilgrimage centers don’t see such a rush during monsoons, the scheme has changed everything. Looking at this, Stree Shakthi groups are organizing various women-specific pilgrimage tours in the state. Some of the religious trips started early Saturday morning and the most preferred destinations include Savadatti Yallamma, Kukke Subramanya, Dharmastahala, Mysuru Chamundeshwari Hills, Kollur, and Koodala Sangama, among others.
Women are mostly traveling to Biligiri Rangaswamy Temple, Male Mahadeshwara Hills, Dasoha Bhavan, Gopalswami Hills, and Srikanteshwara Temple.
