The Gangamma Jathre in Bangalore has been a tradition since 1928 and is currently held around the Malleshwara Gangamma temple. The event is normally held over a three-day period and sees thousands of devotees arriving from across Bangalore and nearby areas. The temple and the deity are specially decorated and devotees offer Ragi Ganji (gruel) to the Goddess, along with the traditional flowers, coconut, and fruit.
