There are certain details of the car festival which may be noted before we pass on to the description of another famous festival of Vijayanagara. From the inscriptions we know that a car festival was sometimes held for nine days. Thus in A. D. 1495 Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Timmaya Dēva Mahā-arasu's son Narasaya Dēva Mahā-arasu gave twenty-eight gadyāṇa as a gift for the offerings of the god Bayirava of Sihati and for a new car festival to be held for nine days.³
