Thousands of devotees from different parts of the world thronged the Nalwar village of Karnataka to participate in one of the most significant festivals of the village. Known as the Tanarti festival, this unique celebration of faith and devotion is celebrated in the Kalaburgi district of Karnataka which is attended by people regardless of their castes or religion. Celebrated on the eve of Avarathri Amavasya, this 200-year-old ritual is organised at the Kori Siddeshwara Math (religious institution) every year. Devotees from all over Karnataka and nearby states visit the math to offer their prayers to Kori Siddeshwara and pray for the fulfilment of their wishes.
