It is organised every year during the [[Mailara Jaatre]] in [[Bellary]] district of Karnataka. It is usually conducted in the month of February. The designated &quot;[[Gorava]],&quot; standing on top of a ten foot bow, prophesies what to expect in the coming year and lets himself down from that height to be caught by the devotees below. The Gorava, a follower of [[Mylara Lingeshwara]], wearing a traditional overcoat of wool and headgear, traditionally fasts for the 11 days of the fair before prophesying on the penultimate day.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/2010/02/02/stories/2010020252160300.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121108094117/http://www.hindu.com/2010/02/02/stories/2010020252160300.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-11-08 |title=Mylara jatra attracts 10 lakh devotees on penultimate day |date=2010-02-02 |work=[[The Hindu]] |accessdate=2010-12-12}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Culture of Karnataka]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{India-culture-stub}}<br /> {{en-Wikipedia}}</div>
