Lord Basavanna, the Hindu Kannada poet, was the founder of the Lingayat faith. He was a follower of Lord Shiva. A new era began after the birth of Basavanna, and it is popularly known as the ‘Basava Era.’ He believed in a society free of the caste system, with equal opportunity for all. He founded the Anubhava Mantapa, an academy of the Lingayat mystics and philosophers. Basava Jayanti is celebrated throughout South India, primarily in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. It is an important day for Basavanna's followers in Karnataka. The Lingayat committees organize various events on Basava Jayanti and remember his teachings on this day. Happy Basava Jayanthi 2023 to all!
