Ethnic Roots, Karaga Festival, Historic Association in Bangalore,
***Ethnic Roots***
They considered to be ethnically Tamil and usually speak mixed languages both Kannada and Tamil. Some are bilingual and yet others are monolingual.
***Karaga Festival***
They are generally Hindus. Their main deity is Draupadi Amman and the Karaga festival celebrated in Kolar, Bangalore and other towns is mainly performed by people belonging to this caste. Especially the dance of the Karaga Carrier and that of the Veera Kumaras is eye catching and enthrilling.
Historic Association in Bangalore
Their caste associations (guilds) also have jointly built temples and manage them. Historically it is claimed that a local king Hyder Ali encouraged Tigalas to settle down in Bangalore to help in the laying out of Lal Bagh.
Tigalas are a sub caste of the numerous Vanniar caste of Tamil nadu and Southern Andhra Pradesh.
