For those who don't know about ಱ and ೞ letters

These are letters which were present in Halegannada (Old Kannada) but lost in Hosagannada (New Kannada)

It is written as റ and ഴ in Malayalam, and ற and ழ in Tamil

And even after being lost these letters were taught in Kannada varnamala in schools till 1970s-1980s but after that it was never taught in schools again

But recently especially in PUCs (Pre-University college) these 2 letters were taught again to students for reading Maharabharata written in Halegannada

Due to it these 2 letters now maybe revived among new generation and I hope so soon in every schools and colleges which has Kannada language subject again teach students letter ಱ and ೞ and also include it back in Kannada varnamala

I'm going to netravati trek from Udupi, no public transport is available on early morning to reach the netravati at 7'O clock, so I had a thought of having a rental car but it was little expensive, so I'm searching for anyone who is having same situation like me, to share the travel expenses.btw the date was 6th july 2026(Monday) morning and evening return to Udupi, if anyone there feel free to dm me.

Thanks in advance 🙂

There were so many great discussions watch it and enjoy

Namaskaragalu Karnataka Nivasiyaru!

I'm a guy from Maharashtra with an interest in the culture and traditions of India and wanted to ask:

What are some of the most common Kuladevata temples in South Karnataka?

By South Karnataka, I mean only the stretch of land East of the Western Ghats, South of the Tungabhadra and bounded to the south and east by lands of other languages.

I already know that most of the Kuladevatas of North Karnataka (non-coastal) are shared with Maharashtra. In fact, a friend of mine (Marathi) has her Kuladevi as Banashankari of Badami.
North Canara shares most of its culture with Coastal Maharashtra and Goa as it is a Konkani-speaking continuum (mostly!) and Tulu Nadu has their own specific folk and Vedic gods and goddesses.

But, the internet gives very vague and fuzzy answers for Kuladevatas in the South Karnataka area as I mentioned. I know for sure that Lord Martanda Bhairava is not worshipped there.

Can you guys please list out the Kuladevatas in your family or your community?

Thanks!
