spirit of Karnataka with these local fairs and festivals. The Karga
in March-April is a unique local event held at the Dharmaraja Temple
where Shakti, the Goddess of primal energy is celebrated. The chosen
man balances an earthen pot on his head for more than 12 miles

other, His wife waits at home, as devotees and drummers accompany
him on his journey to the Sampangi Tank, where the Karga (pot) is
immersed.
