Udayavaagali Namma Cheluva Kannada Naadu

As Karnataka celebrates Rajyotsava on Nov 1st, I am presenting a very popular Kannada bhavageethe penned by Huligol Narayana Rao in 1920s. This song is considered to be the harbinger to the birth of new Kannada state and it captivated the attention of all Kannadigas across India. This is the fourth in the series of Kannada patriotic songs I have been singing. Here are the links to some others..
