BENGALURU: After a gap of two years when the pandemic prevented the famous Karaga, one of Bengaluru’s oldest community festivals culminated with ‘Karaga Shakyotsava’, the ceremonial procession that started in early hours of Sunday.
The Karaga procession began on a grand note from Sri Dharmarayaswamy temple at Thigalarpet. While incessant rain saw the procession start two hours late at 1.30am, it failed to dampen the spirits of those gathered to view V Jnanendra Vahnikula Gowda carry the Karaga for the 11th straight year.
