Gonikoppalu, Oct 14: Under the aegis of the Sri Kaveri Dasara Committee, the 11th annual 'Mahila Dasara' was celebrated with great enthusiasm as part of the broader Dasara public festivities in Gonikoppalu. Setting aside the hustle and bustle of their daily routines, women dressed in colorful attire participated spiritedly in various games, sports, and dance competitions held from morning until evening.

The women gathered at the Gonikoppalu bus stand in the morning and proceeded in a procession. A performance by a tribal art troupe from Nanacchi added a special charm to the procession. Women and young girls, carrying *kalashas* (ceremonial pots), walked as part of the procession.

Upon the procession's arrival at the Kaveri Kala Vedike (Kaveri Art Forum) premises, various indoor and outdoor sports competitions commenced. The women participated with great zeal, showcasing their talents. Dignitaries distributed prizes to the winners of the various events. Stalls were also set up to sell products crafted by the women, as well as household items. The women also garnered high praise for their performances during the cultural programs.

M., the President of the Mahila Dasara Committee and former Vice-President of the Gonikoppalu Grama Panchayat...
