It's a birthday for many states today and two prominent south Indian states, Karnataka and Kerala, mark this day with celebrations. Kannada Rajyotsava and Kerala Formation Day is otherwise known as Kerala Piravi are celebrated with the same emotion and enthusiasm as any other festival.

What is Kerala Piravi?

Kerala Piravi is celebrated on November 1 and marks the birth of the state. Prior to 1956, Kerala was divided into three separate provinces, Malabar, Cochin and Travancore. After India's independence, Kerala was formed based on the need for dividing states based on a linguistic basis and Kerala was formed.

What is Kannada Rajyotsava?

Kannada Rajyotsava is a Kannada festival, which also marks the formation of the state. Celebrated on November 1, it was in 1956 when all Kannada speaking regions in South India were merged to form Karnataka. The history of this day is similar to that of Kerala Piravi. But there was a twist.

Since Mysore was not accepted by some regions initially, it was later merged and it was again renamed to Karnataka on November 1, 1973. This day is a government holiday in the state.
