'''Dakkebali''' is a form of [[snake worship]], also referred to as ''[[nagaradhane]]''. It is typically practiced in the town of [[Padubidri]] in the [[Udupi district]], [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. The festival is held once every other year, alternating with the [[Paryaya]] festival at nearby [[Udupi]]. It is also held every year in Thantrady Bairy Bettu [[Udupi District]] Dakkebali (Bramha mandala). This [[Puja (Hinduism)|pooja]] is performed for Naga, Bramha, Raktheshwari, Nandikonna, Haygulli, Kshetrapala, Bagilu Bobbarya, Motukalu Bobbarya, and Yakshi. This is Pancha Shaiva kshetra {{Lang|ka|ಪಂಚ ಶೈವ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರ}}, and the current priest is Sri Nagaraja Bairy. At present Dakkebali will be performed every two years at Naga and Bramha by the Ramanna Bairy Family and devotees from nearby places.<br />
