Nandi Dhwaja
 The dance performance in Nandi Dhwaja consists of an attractively decorated bamboo pole measuring about 20 to 25 feet long and 4 inch wide in circumference.
Nandi Dhwaja is performed by skilled and experienced dancers. The performance begins with the erection of the
Nandi pole which is at first thrust into a 'Navara'-the pouch worn by the performer. Balancing the pole at 90o , the dancer accomplishes rhythmic movements and intricate acrobats to the emotional tunes of the melodic accompaniments. This dance is prevalent in all parts of the state except
Kodagu.
The artistes of Beesu Kamsale are an expert singing society. But vigorous, rhythmic movements dominate the performance of
Beesu Kamsale. Narration is regulated to the background.
