Chikkapete, Bengaluru

"truly mesmerizing" energy and devotion
Procession happens late at night
Expect intense crowds, go early

For eleven nights, Bengaluru transforms as a priest balances a towering floral pyramid on his head and dances through the streets in honor of Goddess Draupadi. The Karaga procession is ancient, chaotic, and deeply mesmerizing: drums, devotion, and a city that refuses to sleep.

They recommend it:
