Bengaluru’s favourite annual event Kadalekai Parishe or groundnut fair was held recently on the Bull temple road in Basavanagudi this week. The groundnut fair has been held in the city for centuries as an offering to the sacred bull Basava of the temple. The two-day fair attracted a large number of visitors. Hundreds of farmers and traders had come from even distant places to sell groundnuts. Though the fair bustled with activity there were complaints that the sales had dipped this year.
