Kodagu to Celebrate Puttari Festival on November 25

Napoklu, Nov 9: It was decided on Monday that 'Puttari'—the harvest festival of Kodagu—will be celebrated on the 25th of this month at the shrine of Sri Igguthappa in Kakkabe Padi.

In the presence of the *Takka* (traditional community heads), the temple management committee, representatives of the devotees' association, and the general public, members of the 'Ammangeri Kaniya' family examined the astrological almanac (*Rashi Phala*) and officially announced the date and auspicious timing (*Muhurtha*) for the festival.

Accordingly, at the Padi Sri Igguthappa Temple on Wednesday, the 25th, the *Nere Kattuva* ritual (tying of ceremonial sheaves) will take place at 6:05 PM, followed by the *Kadiru Kuyyuva* (harvesting of the first paddy sheaves) at 7:05 PM, and a communal meal at 8:05 PM.

For the general public, the scheduled timings are: *Nere Kattuva* at 6:25 PM, *Kadiru Thegeyuva* (harvesting of sheaves) at 7:25 PM, and the communal meal at 8:25 PM. Prior to this, the 'Kalladcha' festival will be held at the Padi Sri Igguthappa Temple on Tuesday, the 24th. Today, astrologer Shashikumar and members of the Kaniyara Nanayya family examined the astrological forecasts (*rashi phala*) to determine a suitable date. Following this, Paradanda Subramani Kaverappa offered prayers in the presence of the deity; the schedule was then formally presented to the priest, Jagadish, through a special prayer. After the priest performed the *puja*, the *tirtha prasada* was distributed, and the schedule was handed over to the head of the *takka* (community/clan leadership).
