This temple town is similar to university towns across the world. Everything in this town is managed by the temple trust, from food to lodging. It is located on the banks of the river Nethravathi, in the Dakshina Kannada district. It is a scenic drive from Bangalore (275Km) or just 100 Kms from the biggest university town of India, Manipal. Dharmasthala has a lovely Manjunatha temple, with a Lord Shiva Idol. This temple is visited by more than 10000 people daily and it is most crowded on Mondays and holidays. The town also has one of the remotest vintage car museums where you can spot Cadillacs, Rolls-Royeces, Dodges and Renaults. To your surprise all these cars are in running condition. You can also visit the Manjusha Art Museum which has some unique collections.
The operations beauty of this place is to see the temple volunteers serve tens of thousands of visitors piping hot meal everyday. The moment you sit for the lunch, within one minute you will be served the leaf and delicious food pours in almost instantly. It hardly takes 9 minutes to finish the lunch from start to finish. And all this happens simultaneously for a batch of more than thousand people in a huge hall.

Indian Premier Leage-2 generated Rs. 5.5 billion for the teams compared to Rs. 1.3 billion in IPL-1. What were the factors that helped IPL grow more than 4 times? A phenomenal success for an event which was almost scrapped because of some critical reasons.

IPL-2 saw some unique changes in the viewers demographics. This was the first time in the cricketing history that women took an active role cheering their teams. The home delivery fastfood brands like KFC and Domino’s saw a 10% growth over the normal business during the IPL season. Moreover IPL changed the way people used to party. Social gatherings were planned around the three hours match to experience a fun filled evening.

Could you imagine the crowd of Eden Gardens cheering a Pakistani player! IPL made it happen with Shoib Akhtar. This internationalisation of the regional phenomenon made IPL the event of the year. The presence of Bolywood stars acted as the icing on the cake. The deadly combination of Bolywood and Cricket subdued even the Ekta Kapoor Soaps! Nobody could come in between the success of IPL-2, be it elections, broadcasting rights or the rains.

This event become a platform for marketers. The Vodafone ZooZoo advertisement got the right kind of audience to reach one of the highest TRP ratings. It can be considered as a marketing achievement and all credits go to the organizers like Mr. Lalit Modi. So, watchout where these innovative concepts will take the culture and traditions. IS football the next mega sports to see such revolutionary changes. Watch out for these Event Moguls!
