Cultural Committee
Keeping Kodava traditions vibrant across the city, through cultural programs, festival celebrations, and community performances.
The Cultural Committee is the creative engine of Kodava Samaja Bangalore. It plans and produces the cultural programs, festival celebrations, and community performances that keep Kodava traditions vibrant across the city.
From Kailpodh and Puthari gatherings to inter-sangha cultural competitions and literary programs like Sahitya Naal, the committee’s work spans the full breadth of Kodava artistic and ceremonial life. Its goal is simple: ensure that every generation of Kodavas in Bangalore stays connected to the music, dance, rituals, and creative heritage of Kodagu.
With 65 members, it is the largest sub-committee at KSB, a reflection of how central cultural preservation is to the Samaja’s mission.
