Mailapur's mystique: No chickens, no cots

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 16 January 2024
Mailapur, a village in North Karnataka's Yadgir district, is a unique place with its traditional way of life and deep-rooted religious beliefs. The village, with its narrow roads and closely packed hut-like structures, is primarily engaged in agricultural activities, cultivating crops like cotton, tur, chilli, and sugarcane. However, what sets Mailapur apart is the absence of chickens and poultry farming and the practice of not sleeping on cots. The villagers refrain from keeping chickens and poultry due to their belief in Mailarilingayya Mallayya, who is considered an avatar of Lord Shiva.
