While Bangalore is known for its tech hubs, it also boasts a rich cultural heritage. One of the oldest and most unique festivals here is the Karaga Festival, celebrated in the Dharmaraya Temple. It usually takes place in March or April and is deeply rooted in local legend and spirituality.

This night-long festival sees the temple priest carry a sacred pot (Karaga) on his head in a grand procession, accompanied by sword-bearing men and drummers. It’s a rare and fascinating cultural event that reflects the depth of South Indian traditions.
