Shanivarsanthe, Feb. 2: The 15-day historical Gudugale Sri Jayadeva cattle fair held at the Gudugale Jatra ground in association with the Sri Basaveshwara Temple was inaugurated on Monday by the Handli Gram Panchayat. In the morning, traditional worship was offered to the neighboring Sri Basavanna Deva at the Gudugale Sri Basaveshwara Temple.
Then, the festival idol was placed on a side palanquin, and the procession, accompanied by donkeys, musical instruments, heroic dance and women carrying Kalas, moved along the main road and reached the Jatra ground. Station PSI H.Y. Chandra inaugurated the fair along with the office bearers of the Jatra Committee. Then, the procession reached the Sri Basaveshwara Temple on the top of the Deena and worship was offered there too. PSI H.Y. Chandra inaugurated the inaugural ceremony in the afternoon by lighting the lamp and said that fairs are a symbol of folk culture and should be preserved and developed. The cooperation of the villagers with the fair committee is also essential for the success of the fair. He said that the role of the police is important in ensuring that the fair runs smoothly without any untoward incidents.
Fairs are festivals where the entire community comes together to celebrate after Siddhalingashivacharya Swamiji of Muddinakkatte Math in Madre village gives blessings. Organization in the social system is difficult. Benevolent feelings have disappeared. The number of cattle in cattle fairs has significantly decreased. The cow is a multipurpose animal and should be worshipped with sacred feelings.
Rudramuni Swamiji of Kodlipete Kalalli Mutt gave his blessings and said that just by touching the cattle, merit accumulates. There is no life without religion. There is a need for religion, guru, temple and mutts. Kindness should be the source of religion, he said. Village leader and farmer S.K. Veerappa spoke and remembered the glory of the fair and said that the tradition of temples along with the fair should continue.
