Today, we are showing you a few pictures of Kannada Rajyotsava, which celebrates the formation of the state of Karnataka on November 1.
When the Republic of India was formed, merely the southern parts of Karnataka were joined together as Mysore State. This was a relict from the princely state of Mysore. In 1956, all the Kannada speaking areas of India were unified to create the state of Karnataka as it is today. Surprisingly, its name was only changed in 1973 because the northern parts of the state did not agree with the name Mysore.

The Kannada flag, which has a yellow and red stripe, is not an official flag. Its origin lies in the political party named Kannada Paksha, which does not exist anymore. The yellow colour signifies peace, while the red stands for courage. Hindus also believe that yellow stands for arshina (turmeric), and the red for kumkuma (vermilion). Both these powders signify auspiciousness and well-being.
