Choudlu observes Mysuru Dasara on Sunday, 11 October 2026, along with the rest of Karnataka.
The principal temple recorded for Somvarpet mandal is Shettihalli Rosary Church. No temple of this dedication is on record within Choudlu 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.
Kodagu keeps its own Dasara at Madikeri, going back more than a century and a half to the Haleri kings. Four karagas open it — a decorated vessel of rice, nine grains and holy water carried on a shaved head — and ten mantapas, each showing a demon being killed, are taken through the town to close it.
By population, Choudlu ranks #2 of 93 villages in Somvarpet mandal.
