Devarayanadurga Brahma Rathothsava happens every year on the day of holy festival. The Rathotsava or the Car festival or the Jatre of the Devarayana Durga Sri Bhoga Narasimhaswamy is held during Phalguna shuddha poornima (Full moon day ) in Devarayana durga. On this day the chariot/car/Ratha of Sri Bhoga Narasimhaswamy is drawn in the main Ratha beedhi of the hill town. Even though the Rathotsava day is Phalguna Shudda pournami, it will be done on the day on which pubba nakshatra falls. As such, a day prior or after pournami also a possibility of rathotsava day. It was called Ulkeladri in Kritayuga, Simhadri in Tretayuga, Siddhagiri in Dwaparayuga and Karigiri in Kaliyuga.
Karigiri - Once Bhirgu Maharshi cursed Gandharva brothers, Devadatta and Dhanunjaya to take shape of a mountain and one as an elephant. Kari – Means elephant; and Giri – means mountain, so the name Karigiri. As Srihari in his Narasimha roopa is there at Karigiri, he is also called as "Karigireesha".
Every year more than 20000 people are expected to attend the great rathotsava. Hundreds of special buses ply between the hills and Tumkur. It is about 65 kms from Bangalore and 25 kms from Dabaspet and 15 kms from Tumkur.
