Another notable celebration is Sandhu marichi(Veedhi) Devru Mokku(Street worship of god in Kannada). In recent years many non-Kannadic groups are also participating this celebration.

Famous quotes containing the word festivals:
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
