Jathre is a special show in Kannada which is telecasted only once a year. Jathre is a fair in Karnataka where local Indian festivals are celebrated. It is a collection of festivals and prayers. Jathre is a colorful event where millions of people from the state participate. It is that time of the year when people of Karnataka wait for it to come. There is pageantry, colorful mosaic and what not.
During the Jathra’s, the gods and goddesses are kept on a chariot. They are then worshiped by lakhs of people. It happens at various places of the state. If we study the geography of Karnataka carefully, we can see that there will be around lakhs of people surrounding the chariot. It is celebrated in villages and the rural areas of Karnataka. You can't expect a city like Bangalore to be hosting such an event. For this, you need people who are free and can make time for their busy lives.
You need roads which are most of the time empty. Bangalore is a city where people from all over the country come and settle for job opportunities. The rural bring a lot to this tradition. It usually starts in January and ends in April. This is a time where the roads are decorated, and festivals are celebrated with full joy and enthusiasm. This is like a campaign in several places. Wherever the chariot goes, there are tents set up where people can play a lot of games.
Rides are set, and children can enjoy those rides at a low price. These rides are set at a place for a duration of two days. Prayers are performed by the devotees. Rituals are carried out by the experienced priest who travels everywhere with the chariot. Jathre while being a grand event, it is a security concern for the local police. The police have to make sure that during the Jathre, people maintain their morals and values.
In the serial, the importance of each ritual is told. Kids are shown enjoying the rides which are set up. People are interviewed as they explain why they are present at this Jathre. Jathre is not a popular show, and many people outside the state probably haven't heard about it. This is why the production is done in a cheap manner. The camera is not still and there are a lot of people present at the Jathre.
