Greetings,
For decades, it has been my dream for our family to be recognized by our community in various ways. I have envisioned organizing a sports-related event that connects to our community. Our Kodava Festival Puthari is a distinctive celebration where the entire Kodava community comes together in unity. Following Puthari, we participate in the Kole Mandh to celebrate Kole Aate, Pare Kalee, and Shakthi Kole. Shakthi Kole involves both men using a stick and pulling it in their direction, resembling a tug of war. With this ancient and traditional game in mind, I propose hosting a Family Festival to foster community spirit and gather all Kodava families in one location. This festival offers numerous benefits, including matchmaking, strengthening bonds, reconnecting with relatives, entertainment, and much more. Additionally, I aim to provide a platform for the youth to develop their careers in the Tug of War Festival.
Regards,
Ponnolthanda S Ponnappa (Kiran)
