Kar Hunnive
This is observed on the Full moon day of Jyestha (June) by worshipping the bullocks and the farming implements. A exceptional feast is prepared in the afternoon. In the evening a function called Karihariyodu is performed, in which the chief event is bullocks race. Many pairs of bullocks participate in the running race and the pair which comes first is acclaimed by the public. If the bullocks which come first are red or brown color, it is supposed that red variety of jowar will rise in abundance during the ensuing season and if they are white in color, white jowar is believed to grow in plenty.
