The health of Shivakumara Swamy of Siddaganga Mutt at Tumakuru is critical.

Personal physician of the seer, Dr. Paramesh, said that there is variation in the seer's blood pressure and lung function since last night.

Speaking to the reporters on the premises of the mutt on Monday, Dr. Paramesh said that the protein level in his body had dropped. He said the next update on the seer's health will be given in 2-3 hours.

Many prominent politicians, including BJP state president B.S. Yeddyurappa and Home Minister M.B. Patil, are at the mutt. Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy reached the mutt later in the day. The Head of Adichunchungiri mutt, Nirmalananda Swami, also arrived at the mutt at midday.
