After 35 years, Bagalkot prepares to hold jathre for presiding deity | Hubballi News


Halepet resident Tippanna Badiger, a septuagenarian, said that Dyamavva Devi was regarded as a deity for the whole of Bagalkot city.
BAGALKOT: In the mid 1980s, the dreadful prospect of the city's submergence in the backwaters of the Almatti Dam compelled the residents of Bagalkot to halt the jathre to Dyamavva Devi, the city's presiding deity. Now, over 35 years later, with the second wave of the pandemic striking the state, the residents of the Killa neighbourhood in Bagalkot city are contemplating reviving the forgotten tradition.
General secretary of Sri Gramadevi Seva Samiti Shrikant Pattar said that the Killa neighbourhood was now left with just 827 households. "It was not among the localities identified for relocation. When it floods, the area turns into an island, with only one road connecting it with the rest of the city. Life has been hard recently. We lost 200 people to Covid-19. This apart, we have also had to deal with reptiles such as snakes, scorpions etc after the district was flooded. People have been under considerable duress here," Pattar told TOI.
