This is the time in year when festivities takeover every corner of Barkur. This is the festival of Lord Ganapathi, popularly called Ganesh Chathurthi or Ganeshothsava. Like always Lord Ganapathi has arrived in Barkur with all his majesty and glory. Barkurians are all geared up for the celebrations that begin today.
