Every year after Deepavali, residents come together for the cow dung-fighting festival of Gore Habba in the small village of Gumatapura, as seen on Saturday. The tradition comes from the belief that the clothes and remains of a saint were placed in a pit in the village, and took the shape of a ‘Linga’, which became surrounded by cow dung in the course of time.
