Terahalli Betta, a part of Shatashringa chain of hills on Bangalore-Chennai Road, situated about six kilometres from the district headquarters of Kolar, is making news among literary and cultural circles of the State.
Shivagange village on this hill is witnessing a cultural and literary revolution. The boulders on this hilly region are reverberating with the songs and dialogues that form part of dramas. Adima, a cultural organisation, is fast developing the area into a cultural hotspot of the drought-prone but culturally vibrant district. The men, women and children of surrounding villages witness various cultural feasts.
Kotiganahalli Ramaiah founded Adima to do constructive work and breed good taste among the people. Theatre workshops, drama shows, translation workshops, literary discussions, film shows, cultural jathas form the main components of its activities.
Hunnime Haadu is an innovative programme of Adima. Dramas are being staged every full moon day on the hilltop with boulders and trees forming a natural stage. Plays by different troupes are presented under the full moon so far. Hunnime Haadu has become popular with the masses who arrive here from far off places.
