In Karnataka, men, women and children attired in colourful tunics visit friends and relatives and exchange pieces of sugarcane, a mixture of fried til [YELLU], molasses [Bella], pieces of dry coconut, peanuts and fried gram as a symbol of the need to be generous and kind to everyone.
The significance of this exchange is that sweetness should prevail in all the dealings
