It was celebration time for the farming community across Kalaburagi district on Thursday.
Casting aside their differences and cutting across caste and communal lines, farmers celebrated Ellu Amavasya, a harvest festival falling on a New Moon Day, to pay their respects to their Mother Earth and performed a special ritual for a good harvest in the coming days.
Farmers along with their families and friends gathered in their agriculture fields and offered prayers to the standing jowar crop.
