Karnataka’s Culture at One India


Attending One India at LPU was an unforgettable experience for me. Among all the vibrant stalls and performances, Karnataka’s representation truly caught my attention—and left a deep impression on my heart.

What stood out first was the graceful presence of Krishna Deva Raya—the powerful king of the Vijayanagara Empire. Seeing his image reminded me that true leadership isn’t just about winning battles, but also about supporting art, literature, and culture. His rule helped Karnataka grow in every way, and that still reflects in the pride people feel today.

Then there was the presence of a rishi, symbolizing Karnataka’s spiritual wisdom. It made me think about how culture is not just about the outer beauty, but also about inner peace, values, and knowledge passed through generations.


The display of Virupaksha Temple, Chennakeshava Temple, and the Mysore Palace left me in awe. The carvings, architecture, and detail made me realize how much love and skill went into preserving Karnataka’s identity. These monuments are not just stone—they are stories carved in time.

Another thing that fascinated me was the Kannada script—so elegant and artistic. It showed me how language is not just a tool for communication, but also a symbol of pride and belonging for the people of Karnataka.

But the moment that touched me most was seeing a young boy dressed in traditional Karnataka attire, holding a sword with confidence. In that moment, I saw not just a costume, but the spirit of bravery, culture, and history coming alive in today’s generation.

The Message I Took Home

From Karnataka’s representation, I understood one strong message:

"Culture is not something of the past—it lives in people, in traditions, and in every little effort to remember who we are."

Events like One India remind us how diverse our country is, but also how deeply connected we all are. Every state has its own identity, yet together, we form one beautiful nation.

That day, Karnataka taught me that pride in one’s culture is not about looking back, but carrying it forward with heart.
