KADALE KAAI PARISHE 2013

Groundnut farmers from far and near converge with their produce to Basvanagudi, Bangalore for the annual kadale kaai PARISHE (Festival). This happens every year in the month of December and large number of people gather for enjoying different kinds of groundnuts and the atmosphere is festive one,

We visited the place one afternoon, walked around the place, road was closed for vehicular traffic, people roam around freely, and buy items other than kadale kaai also.
The mood is festive and people enjoy.
The sad part is people least bothered about cleanliness, hygiene and littering. The place is littered with food plates, plastic bags, papers and no toilet fecilities.
