and music, when deities are taken out in procession. Sarannavarathri festival lasting for 10 days, Kalyanotsavam for Bramaramba and Malleswara-swamy deserve

city look like Bhooloka Swarga, and the tumultous rejoicing sometimes bring the
celestial down to witness and feel envy at the way of celebration.
