BEDU FESTIVAL OF TRIBES

Tribes living in Nagarahole National park observe this festival each year.

Generally urban people fear to go there for this festival as the speciality of this festival is to abuse every one using filthiest language, especially connecting sentences to Ass!

This has a history. The story goes that Lord Aiyappa was walking in the forest along with a band of hunters. He saw Goddess Bhadrakali and went after her, forgetting the hunters. Since the hunters could see hind portion of Aiyappa, tribes from that day onwards started abusing people on this day of the festival.

However, the festival held recently invited trouble as the verbal abuses turned violent.
