Celebrating North Karnataka – Heart & Soul
From our rustic dialect to our soulful music, theatre, and hearty food, everything from North Karnataka has a flavour of its own. Yes, our dialect may sound sharp or even harsh to the unfamiliar ear, often mistaken for abuse. But in truth, it's a powerful, emotional, and poetic expression that carries warmth, humour, and deep-rooted affection.
Artists like Vidushi Sangeeta Katti Kulkarni and Suramani Dr. Praveen Godkhindi have earned immense love and admiration here in Bangalore, the Capital City, the Silicon Valley of India. So, we thought: why not bring a full day of our region’s culture right to this city?
Be it Music, Dance, Theatre, or Traditional Delicacies like Jawar Roti, Brinjal & Sprouts, or snacks like Vana Ballolli Vaggarani Churmari, served with Mirchi, Masala Tea, and of course, the iconic Betel Leaves with Supari – this celebration has it all.
Come, join us in embracing the soul of North Karnataka at Uttarottama Utsava – 25!
