Madikeri: Reinstating a tradition that had been followed for generations and interrupted at times, traditionally dressed Kodava men and women, with the women carrying ‘Thaliyathakki Bolcha’ (a brass plate with rice and a traditional lamp), walked barefoot from Bhagamandala to Talacauvery in a Padayatra, singing praises to the Goddess.
They gathered at the Sri Bhagandeshwara Swamy Temple in Bhagamandala and walked to Talacauvery. The procession was led by Virajpet MLA A.S. Ponnanna, actors Bhuvan Ponnanna and Harshika Poonacha.
