Puttari is a traditional harvest festival celebrated primarily in the state of Karnataka, India. It marks the end of the rice harvest and is observed by the Hindu community, particularly among the Kodava people. The festival usually takes place in the month of December and involves various rituals, including the worship of agricultural tools and the offering of newly harvested rice to deities. During Puttari, families come together to celebrate with feasting and cultural activities. Special dishes made from rice, such as puttu and payasam, are prepared and shared among family and friends. The festival emphasizes gratitude for the harvest and strengthens community bonds.
