Historic Basava Day Celebration today in Allen, Texas! A truly unforgettable moment as Mayor Baine L. Brooks officially proclaimed May 3rd as Basava Day—the first city in the United States to do so. A proud milestone for every Veerashaiva Lingayat, honoring the global recognition of Basavanna’s universal and timeless teachings.
This Basava Day proclamation was a special highlight of the Annual Basava Jayanthi Celebration organized by the VSNA Dallas Chapter.
