The purpose of celebrating anniversaries is to introduce the history of great personalities to the youth. "Efforts are being made to introduce Basavanna's Vachanas across the state to influence the youth. Through their practices, ideas, and Vachanas, the govt is creating history and delivering social justice. Everyone talks about Basavanna, but very few live by contemplating his practices and ideas daily," he noted. Speaking after offering flowers to Basavanna's portrait, excise and district minister RB Timmapur mentioned the 12th-century efforts to eradicate untouchability and unite all communities. Presiding over the programme, Hunagund MLA and State Veerashaiva Lingayat Development Corporation chairman Vijayanand Kashappanavar stated that the grandeur of Basavadi Sharanas is being celebrated in the historic Kudalasangama.
