Where demonized Mahisha is worshipped by descendants
A group of residents of Ashokapuram still revere Mahisha and worship him as their ancestor in Mysuru, according to corporator Purshotham.
"There is no temple in his name but we pay obeisance to our ancestor and the king of Mysuru, Mahisha, during Dasara celebrations atop Chamundi (earlier Mahabaleshwar) Hills," said the corporator of Ward 7 of the Mysuru City Corporation.
