Basavanagudi Kadlekai Parishe is the most happening place to be in the whole of India.
Family men for spending (Bodskolakke) n Horse Like Straight Targetting your Kids and Padde Haiklu for Bird Watching. Yes, there are lots of trees near Bull Temple 😉
Kadlekai in Kannada means groundnut and Parishe in Kannada mean Jatre or Mela. Since Kadlekai Parishe is the Mela of Groundnuts hence the name.
You just don’t go there to buy the groundnuts, though that’s the main reason to visit🤩
You get to play Rankal Raate, Columbus, Airplane Dancer, Boogie Woogie, etc. so many games I can’t even spell.

Do you know Kadlekai Parishe started in the first place? (Fullu Serious Stuffu)
☝️ Back To Contents ☝️
Basavanagudi was previously surrounded by the villages of Gavipuram Guttalli, Sunkenahalli, Mavalli (Now famous for MTR), and Dasarahalli where groundnuts were grown.
Every full moon day, a bull used to raze the whole of these villages and destroy the groundnut crops.
Then the whole of villagers came to the Basavanagudi and decided to give their groundnut crop offerings to Basavanna on the last day of every Karthika Somavara (Karthika masa Monday).
This is the story behind Kadlekai Parishe (shaart and sweet, isn’t it?)
Main Deity of Kadlekai Parishe: (Bhakthi Material 🙏)
☝️ Back To Contents ☝️
Basavanna or Maha Nandi, the Vahana (Mount or Vehicle) of Lord Shiva is the main deity prayed on Basavanagudi Kadlekai Parishe.
Here is the entrance of Big Bull temple, the Kadlekai Parishe Location:
You may see the full details the Bull Temple, the main location where Kadlekai Parishe is held in this Big Bull Temple post.
Here you enter the bull temple with the Gopura in the front.
It’s believed (As my Mother has Mentioned 🙂 ) that if we do not see Basavanna, you get to be a Katte (Ass) in your next Janma or next birth.
So you too please at least visit the premises of Bull Temple or Basavanagudi to have the Darshana of Basavanna.
If you can’t visit the Big Bull Temple, you may watch it right here (Angle Angle nalli):

It’s so damn simple to go and watch Basavanna. You’ll go through the main entrance of Basavanagudi, which is over the small hillock.
You’ll automatically find the route as the alternate routes on the Kadlekai Parishe day will definitely be blocked.
Get the Darshana of Basavanna, buy Gadang Kadlekai on the way out, filled with vendors on the streets, and enjoy the feast in your mouth!

What to Buy in Kadlekai Parishe?
☝️ Back To Contents ☝️
Obviously, you are here to buy Kadalekai and lots of Stomach Obesity Seekers.
So first let’s see what to buy in groundnuts, then to the Main Eating Stuff Jhaank Food🤪. (Tinnakke Badkiro Haage Ankobedi)
But do you know that there are 3 types of Kadalekai (Groundnut)
- Gadang Kadalekai (Deep Fried in Gadang means a place where the groundnuts are covered in sand and put fire below)
- Raw Kadlekai
- Boiled Kadalekai
1) Gadang Kadlekai:
Mine and all groundnut enthusiasts buy Gadang Kadalekai if people know about it (Strictly, if you don’t know you can’t 😊)
Gadang Kadalekai has blackish burnt spots on them and hence it’s easily distinguishable.
It has a burnt kind of taste and light burnt smell to it and is not raw and has a squeezed appearance inside the shell.
The taste of fried/burnt nuts is easy to find. (ತಿನ್ನೋದ್ರಲ್ಲಿ ನೀವು ಪಂಟ್ರು, ನಿಮಗೆ ಹೇಳ್ಕೊಡ್ಬೇಕಾ?)
Though many vendors may fool you (Kivi Mele Hoova) for hardly fried groundnuts as Gadang Kadlekai.
Now you know the taste and how it looks and feels. Take a couple of Kadlekai and eat them. Yes, They are FREE!
You may walk away even though you ate the samples and vendors would not care or curse you.
With your full heart and your acquired knowledge of taste, smell, and sense, go BUY GADANG KADLEKAI!
It was around 30 per liter in 2021. Prices may change exorbitantly this year. Jobge Sakath Katri

2) Raw KadleKai:
This is easy. I need not be a guide for you here! Aye?
Though, it’s my spell-bound duty to educate you even though you are 100+ years old 😉
Raw Kadalekai has a raw feel after you peel. This is how Kavite Kavite Song Lyrics got written by rhyming words. Not by Me of course 😊
It’s slightly pinkish, creamish mixed color obviously gradient color not just one color so can’t give a hex code for it 😛
Its taste is easily distinguishable non cooked taste, consider it like a cooked rice.
Whatta a comparison, comparing cooked to raw 🙃! Aahhe I can’t think of any better comparison dear. Just move on.
ಸ್ಯಾಂಪಲ್ ಕಡ್ಲೆಕಾಯಿ ತಿಂದು ಟೇಸ್ಟ್ ನೋಡ್ಕೊಂಡು ಬಂದ್ಬಿಡಿ.
