Kodi Habba

The car festival is a grand nine day program of evening festivals and it is called ‘Kodi habba’ meaning the top most car festival, top in all respect, in duration, gathering, size of the chariot etc.. The deity will go on procession, in the late evening to nearby villages, in one direction each day for four days, and in the night after return from the tour, the deity will be taken around the temple on a small chariot. On the final day, (the full moon day of scorpion) the big chariot or ‘Brahmaratha’ will be used for procession in the morning and evening. Thousands of people gather in that small town on that day and everything goes very peacefully and methodically.
The decorated chariot is very lovely and it is amazing to see that giant chariot being pulled by people. The proceeding of the festival continues for another two days. It is said that in earlier days, all three nearby major towns ( Kandhavara, Gajapura, Brahmavara) used to contribute for this temple, accepting Lord Shankar’s supremacy.
