Students from various schools in the city participated in the procession. Troupes performing 'Veeragaase', 'Kamsale', 'Puja Kunitha' and 'Dollu Kunitha' added glitter. A large number of women also participated in the procession, which passed through the main thoroughfares of the city before culminating at Nehru Maidan.
The statue of Rani Channamma at Channamma Circle was garlanded by many leaders even as procession passed through the area. Cultural programmes were held in the evening in different parts of the city.
DHARWAD: The golden jubilee of the formation of the state was celebrated in Dharwad with much pomp on Wednesday. District in-charge minister Jagadish Shettar hoisted the flag at the R N Shetty stadium and received salute from the NCC, police, Home Guards, Scouts and
Guides and other contingents.
A portrait of Goddess Bhuvaneshwari was taken out in a procession through the city. Tableaux depicting the rich heritage of Karnataka
