As decided above, a meeting was organized to discuss about conducting the Jatra, under the chairmanship of Kam. Muniyappa. A lengthy discussion was held on the subject and finally, at one stage, it was decided to identify ten learned persons from the Samaj and another ten strong boys; take them to Kallattagiri in Kallattipura, offer Puja to Ganga in strict adherence to Shastras and schedule the Jatra on the full moon day, just before the Monsoon. It was also decided to consult an astrologer and to conduct the Jatra after getting an auspicious time fixed for the Jatra it from an astrologer. Accordingly, it was decided at the meeting that only twenty people would go to Kallattagiri on bullock carts, offer worship to Ganga and bring Ganga here.

As decided by all the concerned, on the Saturday that was closest to the Full Moon Day, worship was offered to the Devi, the 20 pre-designated persons carried the items of the Goddess, rice and other essential items required to prepare food, and a sacrificial sheep since Sri Kattina Chaudi Devi was there and since she had to be pacified, worshipped with the sacrificial sheep, in a bullock cart, and travelled towards Kallattagiri. They took rest in the evening there, woke up at 5 am the next morning, completed their early morning routine duties; the ten strong boys finished their bath, saluted Lord Vighneshwara, took the Ganga- related material, requisite Puja items, submitted them in front of Sri Jaladurgi Devi idol, offered Arati to her, after passing through a cave in which Sri Veerabhadreshwara Swamy rests. Sri Jaladurga Devi idol is by the side of a water fall that flows down a rock on which the ten strong boys had to walk across. Finally, the remaining ten Shetty Yajamanas encouraged the boys, appointed a local person to guide them further and instructed the ten boys to climb the hillock with each boy carrying one or the other item. They began climbing the 10 km long hillock, voicing forth victory slogans in the name of Sri Doddamma Jaladurgamma. Passing through the dense coffee plants in utter darkness, following the guide from behind; they were passing through the cart route in between the smaller hills and heaps. Ahead of them stood a vertical hill, even as they passed through some unheard plants, creepers, plucking the grass that had grown for fun; they were moving slowly. Once when they saw down, bending their heads…

On seeing, it looked as though the clusters of clouds were offering them a warm welcome. The natural scenery there was enchanting and quite warm that would drive away any glimpses of cold. They kept pace with the rising sun. Minds of all were filled with firm devotion.

At last, the tiny Gudi in the shape of a cave was sighted. In that tranquil atmosphere of utter silence, they were passing in the midst of fallen trees and slanted rocks. Above them, the musical but grim sound of singing bees rented the air; on lifting their heads, they could see the singing bees flying in different ways. When they bowed their head down, the playful cloud clusters could be seen. All in all, they pursued their path without looking above or down, remembering the Goddess; when they each of them was creeping into the cave following one behind the other, the water that was leaping down like a waterfall helped them in giving them some respite and rest, a relaxation with the holy Ganga water. They went forward enjoying the droplets that provided them with an experience of holy dip in the Ganga. A slight slip at wherever they stood meant danger. It was such a gorgeous but enchanting scenery of nature.

Inside the cave, there was a water-filled pond, surrounded by partially damaged, tiny statues of stone. The source of water for that pond is invisible. Everyone saluted it and rested around the pond.

A few of those who had gone their fetched water from the pond and anointed the tiny stone statues with that water, decorated them with flowers, offered vermilion and turmeric powder, placed the watercontaining urns and the procession deity in between the statues, applied vermilion and turmeric powder to them, adored them with flowers and offered Mangalarathi. Everyone accepted the Mangalarathi with devotion. Filled the urns with Ganga water, tied them, offered them Ganga puja and Mangalarathi.
They chanted:

GangE cha YamunE chaiva GodAvaree Saraswati I

NarmadE Sindhu kAvEri jalE(s)smin sannidhim kuru||

And offered Puja and prayers to Jaladurga. The water of Ganga was sprinkled onc all the people; carrying the urn filled with Ganga water descended back on the same path they had ascended, quietly, with full of devotion and remembering Mother Doddamma Jaladurgamma Devi in their minds.

At the bottom, the elderly Shetty Yajamans, who were eagerly waiting, offered Puja and Arati as soon as those who had brought Ganga in the urn from the top of the hill reached the bottom, rolled the new loin clothes they had brought, took the Urns, kept them on the rolled loin clothes, offered beetle leaves, are cannot, plantains and 101 Vadas to the Gana Kootas atop the hill in the Mannering of offering Naivedya and got the Puja offered from the Dasayyas belonging to our Samaja. Subsequently, they offered Madilakki (Rice) and other Puja materials to Sri Veerabhadreshwara Swamy, who was present there, offered worship to the Lord with devotion. Again, they first offered curd rice to Sree Kattina Chaudi Devi, who was present there, and then Naivedya prepared with Sheep mutton, worshipped the Goddess and all those who had come there took meals, rested for a while and in the evening, the strong-built boys who could walk had bath, saluted Sri Veerabhadreshwara Swamy and Sri Kattina Chaudi Devi; they adored the Ganga-filled urns and the Procession Idols, offered worship to them under the supervision of the Shetty Chiefs or heads; the priest placed the urns on the heads of the boys. Immediately, amidst victory slogans and Omkar, they went towards Shivamogga on foot. They were sent off by Shetty Chiefs, who followed the walking boys in bullock carts.
