Thousands gathered in Karnataka’s Koppal district to receive a herbal remedy for respiratory problems, distributed by traditional healer Ashok Rao Kulkarni in Kutaganahalli village. The medicine needs to be consumed during the shift from ‘Mrugashira Nakshatra’ to ‘Ardra Nakshatra’ at the auspicious ‘Muhurta’ time, particularly effective in the ‘Jyeshtha Maasa’ of the Hindu lunar calendar coinciding with the rainy season.
