There is a proverb used in this part of the world called "Ujjini Olage nodu, Hampi Horage Nodu" ("It's wonderful to watch the Sculptures inside the temple of Ujjini and the same could be seen in around the Hampi Temple"). There is a unique festivity celebrated in Ujjini called "Shikara Thailabhisheka" This occurs every year in April or May. There is a tradition to first offer the oil from germali family to the Shikara(Tower). Shikara is believed to have all existing gods and goddesses in the world.
