Kaledakai Parishe started in 1537. In 1537, Kempegowda, a builder of Bangalore, established a large Basava temple on Basavanagudi Hill. This temple is known as Bull Temple. Since then, farmers from surrounding villages come here every year and offer their annual peanuts to Basavanna. That tradition continues today. There are various varieties of Tharavari groundnut available in the groundnut parish. Two-seeded, three-seeded, and single-seeded nuts are available. There are many types of groundnuts including Badami, Gadang, Samrat. In addition, black and red clay are mixed with others. Kaladekai Parishe gives Bangaloreans the feel of a village atmosphere. The fair continues to attract huge crowds year after year. Controlling people is also a challenge for officers.
