Sri Gavisiddheshwara Jatra begins with focus on disability support

The Sri Gavisiddheshwara Jatra began on Saturday, featuring a week of events. This year's theme focuses on helping people with disabilities, providing free artificial limbs and hearing aids. An awareness rally was held to promote this initiative. The event includes religious ceremonies, starting with the raising of the ‘Basava Pata’. Devotees are donating grains and cooking supplies for a community feeding program, which will be transported in a ceremonial procession. A media center was launched to cover the fair's events. Information about the Jatra is available on social media and the Mutt's official website.
