| HATTI LAKKAVVA |
The first day of the festival Naraka Chaturdasi marks the vanquishing of the demon
Naraka by
Lord Krishna and his wife
Satyabhama. Amavasya, the second day of Deepawali, marks the worship of
Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth in her most benevolent mood, fulfilling the wishes of her devotees. Amavasya also tells the story of Lord
Vishnu, who in his dwarf incarnation vanquished the tyrant
Bali, and banished him to
hell. Bali was allowed to return to earth once a year, to light millions of lamps to dispel the darkness and ignorance, and spread the radiance of love and wisdom. It is on the third day of Deepawali — Kartika Shudda Padyami - that Bali steps out of hell and rules the earth according to the boon given by Lord Vishnu.
In northern parts of karnataka the third day is very importent day on this the ox are decorated to celebrate hatti habba its just a race where in people try to take out the garland made of copra its the most interesting thing
