Description:

Bhagawat Mela is a unique blend of spiritualism, music, dance and drama. It is a rich art form which is probably our last link to our ancient Indian theatre. An annual festival on the occasion of Sri Narasimha Jayanthi is usually the only time, plays are performed. A sacred mask of Narasimha is worshiped in the temple and is taken out only on this occasion to be worn by the actor who portrays this incarnation of Visnu.
