In the run-up to the launch of Kalyana Karnataka Amrit Mahotsav to mark the 75 years of the liberation of Kalyana Karnataka region from the Princely State of Hyderabad scheduled for Saturday, around 200 cultural activists divided into 24 troupes marched in a procession in Kalaburagi city on Thursday.

Flagged off by Dattatreya Patil Revoor, MLA for Gulbarga South and the Chairman of Kalyana Karnataka Region Development Board (KKRDB), on the Nagareshwar School premises in Gujn area, the procession marched through the main road for an hour to reach Central Bus Stand. Umesh Jadhav, a Lok Sabha member from Kalaburagi, caught the attention by wearing the traditional woolen shawl locally known as Kambali and marching with the cultural performers.
