Kodi Habba also known as the Koteshwar Festival is widely celebrated as the biggest traditional fair in coastal Karnataka, held annually at the ancient Sri Kotilingeshwara Temple in Koteshwar, Kundapura. The festival's most distinctive feature is its legendary bamboo chariot procession, born from a centuries-old mythological story involving a king's fulfilled vow and an improvised chariot crafted from bamboo and sugarcane. Spanning a week of celebrations with cultural performances, a massive community fair, and deep religious significance, Kodi Habba is one of the most uniquely local and unforgettable upcoming events in the Udupi district for any visitor to experience.
