About Karnataka Rajyotsava in brief
Karnataka Rajyotsava is celebrated on 1 November every year. This was the day in 1956 when all the Kannada language-speaking regions of South India were merged to form the state of Karnataka. The day is listed as a government holiday in the state and is celebrated by Kannadigas across the world. It is marked by the announcement and presentation of the honours list for Rajyotava Awards, hoisting of the official Karnataka flag with an address from the Chief Minister and Governor of the state along with community festivals, orchestra, Kannado book releases and concerts.
The celebrations are marked by multicoloured tableaux carrying the picture of the Goddess Bhuvaneshwari mounted on a decorated vehicle. Since 1 November is a public holiday, it is celebrated at commercial establishments in the following days of the week. Hindus, Muslims and Christians as well celebrate the day. The newly unified state initially retained the name Mysore, which was that of the erstwhile princely state which formed the core of the new entity.
