Culture & cul-ha column

Namaskara yellarigu 😃 Hege iddira? ( how are you?)😉

This edition talks about the culture and kala of Karnataka and kannadiga people. I'll give a synopsis of festivals which the kannadigas celebrate. There are an abundance of festivals and local fairs which happens through out the year in various parts of Karnataka. I'll be talking about the important and widely celebrated once here, have listed the festivals in chronological order as appear in the year.

Shankranthi

Makara Shankranti is the harvest festival, a new year and the festival of rejoicing and celebrations embracing the entire household friends and neighbors, the servants and the poor, the cows, and then all other living creatures symbolizes universal love and kindness. Bhogi marks first day of the Shankranti festival and the last day of Margashirsha month. It is the time when all the old worn out, dirty unwanted things in the house are discarded. On this day, all the old wood and unwanted things are symbolically burnt as in a bonfire. The family members have a Abhynjana Snana (oil bath) at dawn and wear new clothes. They will decorate the front porches of the houses with beautiful and colourful Rangolis. In the centre of the rangolis, the "Gugilu" a small dung balls, decorated with flowers are placed. In Karnataka, a special snack called the "Shankranti Yellu" is made chunks of jaggery, roast besan dal, ground nuts, till seeds and copra. Huggi or popularly known as pongal is the main dish that is relished on Shankranthi. In the evenings, young girls share the Yellu and sugarcane with their near and dear ones. This custom is called "Yellu Beeruva Habba".

Mahashivaratri: A night of vigil for Lord Shiva

All over India, Mahashivaratri occurs on the 14th night of the new moon during the dark half of the month of Phalguna. On a moonless night in February every year, occurs the night of Shiva, the destroyer. This is the night when he is said to have performed the Tandava or the dance of primordial creation, preservation and destruction. On this day, the Linga, which signifies Lord Shiva, is bathed in panchamrutha (a mixture of milk, curds, ghee, sugar and honey) and worshipped amidst vedic hymns (chanting of rudra mantra), bael leaves (bhilwapatre) and flowers. The next morning, the fast is broken. The festival is observed by practicing Ahimsa, Satya, Compassion, Forgiveness and absence of jealousy. A day long (sunrise to sunrise) fast and "Jaagran" (all night vigil) are other features of Maha Shivaratri.

Ugadi

Ugadi marks the beginning of a new Hindu lunar calendar. The most important thing in the festival is Panchanga Shravanam - hearing of the Panchanga. On Ugadi day, people wake up before the break of dawn and take a head bath. The bath is supposedly to be taken after massaging the entire body using sesame oil.The next step is offer prayers to Sun, before accepting Vepapoota Pachadi (Neem Flower Pickle) on an empty stomach. Entrance of the houses are decorated with fresh mango leaves. It is noteworthy that we use mango leaves and coconuts (as in a Kalasam, to initiate any pooja) only on auspicious occasions to propitiate gods. People also splash fresh cow dung water on the ground in front of their house and draw colourful floral designs.

Naga Panchami

Panchami habba or Festival is one of the auspicious day for Hindu women. Naga (snake) Panchami is the fifth day of the Shravana Month of the Hindu calendar. On this day sculpt images or idols of snakes are made and worshipped through the country. In South India figures of snakes are drawn with red sandalwood paste on wooden boards, clay images are made in yellow and black colour. People visit the Naga temple or "Ant hill" is worshipped with reference that snakes lived in Ant hills. People decorate the ant hill with vermilon, turmeric, flowers and fruits. They prepare special sweets and savouries out of till seeds, pop corn from jawar etc. They offer milk and honey. There is also special significance of this festival that the brothers invite sisters and offer them gifts and presents, enhancing the bonds between the families. This is similar to "Raksha Bandhan" which comes in the same season.

Vara Mahalakshmi Festival

Mahalakshmi is the goddess of wealth, auspiciousness and prosperity. She is worshipped for healthy progeny, as well as the health and long life of the husband. Vratha is observed on a Friday that falls before the full Moon day of the month of Shravanamasa (August - September). The Vratha is as follows, Early in the morning women after taking bath, make a rangoli on the place where the kalasha is placed. They draw a lotus with 8 petals. The sacred Kalasha (brass/copper/silver) filled with rice and topped with fresh mango leaves, a coconut and cloth are placed on the mandala and Lakshmi is invoked. Goddess is invoked by decorating the Kalasa with flowers, jewellery, vastra (new clothes – saree) fruits, dry fruits, fresh grains, sweets and savouries. Some place coins, or rupee notes or make a garland of notes. The Vratha is performed with the beginning of Puja to Lord Ganesha. Then the main worship of Varalakshmi begins. The raksha is worshipped for a second time and tied to the right hand of the woman. Articles are given as charity to sumangalis (married woman).

Krishna janam ashtami

The Lord Krishna, the eighth avthar of Vishnu.His birthday falls on the Ashtami of Krishna Paksha or the 8^th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Shravan Masa. This festival is celebrated on two days, once on the actual day ( Janam Ashtami) of his birth inprison at Mathura, and the next day (Krishna Jayanthi) on his being discovered in the house of Nand and Yashoda at Gokul. The Lord is worshipped with offerings – milk, curd, butter, cream, honey and avvalakki (all are Krishna's favourites), variety of fruits and flowers along with lots and lots of sweets and savouries. Huli vesha (tiger dance) is a unique form of folk dance in Dakshina kannada that fascinates the young and the old alike.

Gowri festival

Gowri Habba or festival is celebrated a day before ganesh chaturthi. Goddess Gowri, wife of Lord Shiva, the mother of Lord Ganesha and Lord Subramanya is the most powerful of all the Goddess and is the very incarnation of Aadhi Shakthi Mahamaya. It is believed that on the thirteenth day Thadige of the month of Bhaadrapada Goddess Gowri is welcomed at her patents' house. The next day Lord Ganesha, her son comes as if to take her back to Kailasa. The Swarna Gowri vratha is performed on the occasion, to appease the Goddess.On this day, Hindu women and young girts are in new/grand traditional attire. They make either jalagauri or arishinadagauri (a symbolic idol of Gowri made of turmeric) and bestow her for Puja. The Gauri is decorated with decorations made of cotton, vastra(silk cloth/saree), flower garlands, and ladies get their 'gauridaara' (a sacred thread with 16 knots ) tied to their right wrists, as blessings of gauri and as part of the vratha. At least 5 baginas are prepared as part of the vratha. Each baagina usually contains a packet of arshina (turmeric), kumkuma(vermilion) , black bangles, black beads (used in the mangalsutra), a comb, a small mirror, baLe bicchoLe, coconut, blouse piece, dhaanya (cereal), rice, tur dal, green dal, wheat or rava and jaggery cut in a cube form. The bagina is offered in a traditional mora (winnow painted with turmeric). One such bagina is offered to Goddess Gowri and set aside. The remaining Gowri baaginas are given to married women.

Ganesha Chaturthi

Ganesha Chaturthi or Ganesha Festival is a day on which Lord Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati, resurrected to life on earth with the head of elephant. It is celebrated as it is the birthday of Lord Ganesha.. It is also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi or Vinayaka Chavithi in Sanskrit, Kannada and Chavath in Konkani. The festival lasts for 10 days, ending on Ananta Chaturdashi.

Another popular sweet dish is the karanji (karjikaiin Kannada) which is similar to the modak in composition and taste but has a semicircular shape.

Ayudha pooja/ Dasara

Navaratri is one of the most colorful, dutiful and longest festival observed by Hindus in India. A nine day festival Navaratri is also called as Dasara/ Dushhera. The importance of Ayudha Puja on this occasion may also be due to the fact that on the Vijayadashami day, Arjuna took back his weapons which he had hidden in a Bani tree in order to lead a life in disguise for the promised period of exile. According to a legend, Vijayadashami denotes the victory of truth over evil and was the day when the Hindu Goddess Chamundeshwari killed the demon Mahishasura.
