Nataka is also a common tradition among the people in Karnataka.. Another common tradition among them is visiting temples on special occasions such as festivals. Harikathe also becomes a part of the tradition of Karnataka. The kannadiga weddings are more like traditional Hindu weddings.

CUSTOMS IN KANNADIGA WEDDINGS

The Kannada marriages mostly follow the customs as same as the Hindu weddings but it may differ with areas. They also perform nandhi pooja so that the wedding takes place without any disturbance.
