Karnataka Rajyothsava Day
Karnataka Formation Day is celebrated as ‘Rajyotsava’ day on 1st of November every year. This celebration marks the birth of Karnataka state of Karnataka, on 1st November 1956 by way of merger of Kannada speaking regions of South India.

History: At the time of India’s independence, South India was being ruled by the State of Mysuru, Nizams of Hyderabad, Madras (now Chennai) Presidency and Bombay (now Mumbai) Presidency. For better administration, the process of redefining the regions based on language spoken by locals was initiated. In 1956, boundaries of Mysuru state were redefined to include Kannada speaking regions of other adjacent states. Neighboring state of Andhra Pradesh was also formed on the same day, consisting of Telugu speaking regions. The name was changed from ‘Mysuru’ to ‘Karnataka’ on 1st November 1973. Since then each year November 1 marks celebration of state formation.
