The principal temple recorded for Hunsur mandal is Lakshminarayana Temple, Hosaholalu. No temple of this dedication is on record within Madahalli itself.
Nadahabba — the state festival. Bombe Habba doll steps at home; Mysuru Dasara is the public form, the Jamboo Savari procession on Vijayadashami carrying the Chamundeshwari idol on a decorated elephant.
The regional form observed across Karnataka. How any one household or village keeps it varies, and is not something recorded here.
