Village Jatres are an essential part of Mandya’s local culture. These temple fairs are organized annually in villages across the district and are dedicated to village deities. The jatres bring together people from nearby villages and towns, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
These events include folk performances, street food stalls, traditional rituals, and cultural programs. Local artists perform folk dances, drum performances, and devotional songs, keeping ancient traditions alive. Temporary markets selling toys, ornaments, and handmade goods add to the excitement.
Village jatres play a major role in community bonding, allowing people to reconnect, celebrate together, and pass traditions to younger generations.
