Description

On February 28, 2025, Rotaract Rotaract Club of Bangalore SouthWest and Rotaract Club of SSMRV Degree College jointly hosted the delegates of Nodi Namma Ooru - Incoming Multi District RIDE. Both the clubs hosted the delegates of RI District 3011 and RI District 3040 in the second half of the day. The delegates were picked up from the Rameshwaram Cafe, Jp Nagar, after their lunch. After that, the delegates and the entire team of SouthWest and SSMRV headed towards the Indian Music Experience Museum at Jp Nagar, which was the first stop of the planned itinerary. The delegates were taken around to explore the museum, which was established in 2019 to preserve and showcase Indian musical heritage through interactive exhibits and educational programs. Post that, the team stopped for a short evening snack break to feel energized and explore the other places as per the itinerary. The next stop was Ragigudda Temple in Jayanagar, which was famous for its beliefs and history. It was believed that the hillock, or Gudda in Kannada, that hosts the main deity, Sri Prasanna Anjaneya Swamy, was formed from a heap of Finger millet, or Ragi, and hence was termed "Ragigudda." After this, the third stop for the evening was Raghavendra Swamy Mutt, which was one of the Dvaita Vedanta monasteries (Matha) descended from Madhvacharya through Sri Jayatirtha further with Vibudhendra Tirtha (a disciple of Ramchandra Tirtha). Finally, it was time to head for a dinner party at the famous Nandhana place for a scrumptious meal after a tiring and fun-filled day. Post dinner, the delegates were dropped off at their accommodations, followed by a lot of pictures and Letter Head Exchange, which took place the next day at the Miracle Event.
