कामना हब्ब

Karnataka's version of Holi, celebrating the burning of Kama (desire) by Shiva and Parvati's reunion. The bonfire (Kama Dahanane) is lit on Phalguna Purnima at temple grounds. Unlike north Indian Holi, the color play is secondary to the fire ritual and processional worship of Shiva-Parvati.
