The Kollapuradamma Jatra in Chikkamagaluru is a unique cultural celebration where five villages—Kote, Dhoni Khana, Hosamane, Murumanehalli, and Shankarapura—unite in devotion. Despite urban expansion, these communities maintain age-old traditions like the 'Bandi' bullock cart procession and the thrilling night-time 'Sidi' ritual. The festival showcases the rich Malnad heritage and the enduring bond of the local farming community towards their protective deity. https://kannada.news18.com/news/chikkamagaluru/aiduru-fair-of-chikkamagaluru-a-living-mirror-of-malnad-culture-mnc-svl-local18-ws-l-2394020.html #creator program
