Katebennuru observes Mysuru Dasara on Sunday, 11 October 2026, along with the rest of Karnataka.
The principal temple recorded for Hadagalli mandal is Kalleswara Swami Temple. No temple of this dedication is on record within Katebennuru 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.
The Mahanavami Dibba at Hampi is the platform the Vijayanagara kings climbed to preside over Mahanavami — military reviews, processions, dance and the reception of envoys. Krishnadevaraya raised it in 1513 after the Udayagiri campaign. The Dasara that Mysuru keeps today is the same festival, carried on from here.
By population, Katebennuru ranks #9 of 57 villages in Hadagalli mandal.
