Dr. Vagishwari S P in conversation with Sri Sunil Bhatta, one of the many priests at the Ramalingeshwara Temple at Avani. He talks about the association of the village of Avani and the hills surrounding it, with characters from the Ramayana. This interview delves into details of the socio-economic and cultural aspects of the village of Avani today. The conversation covers subjects ranging from the population of the village itself, its facilities and institutions, as well as the connection it shares with the surrounding areas, facilitated by the temple. Sri Bhattaji gives us an account of the local fairs and festivals, with the main one being the celebration of Shivarati. During this time there is chariot processions and also a large cattle fair, with cattle from neighbouring places like Dharwad and Hubli, that draws crowds.
