Siddavesa

[3] Several different characters are portrayed in the Siddavesa performance, including Dasayya, Bhatru, Sansyasi, Koraga, Koti Chennaya, Beetle Purbu, Byari, and Piliyesa, among others.

Sanyasi, the central figure in this mythical dance, wears an unusual outfit made of dried camouflage leaves.

Byari wears a white banyan, a multicolored checked dhoti tied slightly above the waist to avoid touching the ground, and a traditional hat (toppi).

[5] After sunset, the performing artists gather at a pre-decided holy place, typically in front of the Daivradhane Chavadi or Guttu house.

The Sanyasi is left alone on stage during the Siddavesa performance, roaming around the courtyard while holding his symbolic phallus made of 4-5 wooden sticks tied together.
