Karavali Utsav to be held at Pilikula in December
Mangaluru: A meeting chaired by Dinesh Gundu Rao, the minister in charge of Dakshina Kannada district, has decided to hold the Karavali Utsav at Pilikula Nisargadhama instead of Karavali Utsav Maidan in Mangaluru.
Deputy Commissioner Mullai Muhilan M.P. stated that the Karavali Utsav was previously organised at the Karavali Utsav ground in Lalbagh. However, the festival has not been held for the past few years. This year, it has been decided to organise it at Pilikula, utilising the facilities of Urban Haat, Samskritika grama, and others to attract more people, as reported by Deccan Herald.
The festival will take place starting from the third Saturday of December and will continue for a month. The Deputy Commissioner said the inaugural program is likely to be held on December 13, followed by month-long celebrations.
The decision aims to celebrate the Karavali Utsav in a new way by showcasing the linguistic diversity of Dakshina Kannada and the culture of the Koraga community in a global village model.
In the meeting, Gundu Rao also instructed authorities to establish the necessary committees for Kambala and Karavali Utsav.
