Is a harvest festival when Laxmi, the Goddess of prosperity,
visits all homes to bring fortune and good luck of all. Kojagiri, the
special night, is celebrated with ice-cold, saffron-flavoured sweet
milk, shared in the cool moonlight. The full moon night is called
Navanna Purnima or the moonlit night of new food. The newly harvested
rice is offered to the gods and lamps are lit before the full moon.
