Imagine a festival all about jackfruit!
That's the Halasu Hannu Mela, happening in Puttur.
This year, they're doing something special: a Talamaddale performance, which is like a play but uses only words.
It's called 'Panasopakhyana' and is all about jackfruit.
The festival is run by people who love fruits and farming and want to share the importance of jackfruit and other local fruits.
Besides the performance, there will be other events, like poetry readings.
It’s a fun way to learn about jackfruit and celebrate local culture!
