Kolar Theppothsava
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theppotsava is a floating festival organised each year when lake Kolarammana Kere overflows. Lake Kolarammana Kere is in the heart of the Kolar district, near the Kolaramma Temple. Theppotsava is also celebrated in almost all the towns and villages of Karnataka with a standing body of water. It is a major festival in many villages and towns because it indicates good rains and harvest season. It's a way of expressing gratitude to the rain gods and in general to the lake for holding the water which is very precious in water-scarce regions.
