Devbagh Beach
Devbagh beach resort in Karwar is all one can imagine and more. The place seems to have come out of someone's sketchbook. Just make a few additions to the familiar image of hillocks with thick green trees, a flowing river, and a boat that seems to be headed towards the horizon.

Traditions
Indian Marriage
In India there is no greater event in a family than a wedding, dramatically evoking every possible social obligation, kinship bond, traditional value, impassioned sentiment, and economic resource. In the arranging and conducting of weddings, the complex permutations of Indian social systems best display themselves.
Festivals
Makar Sankranti
The festival of Makar Sankrant traditionally coincides with the beginning of the Sun's northward journey (the UTTARAYAN) when it enters the sign of Makar (the CAPRICORN). It falls on the 14th of January every year according to the Solar Calendar. This day has a very special significance because the day and night on Makar Sankrant are of exactly of equal hours. This day is celebrated as a festival right from the times of the Aryans and is looked upon as the most auspicious day by the Hindus.
