Udupi, Jan 27: Team Vamanjoor and Maxim Crasta, Bantwal have emerged as winners of the fifth edition of the 'Godali Sadagara 2022' jointly organised by Daijiworld Udupi, Kishoo Enterprises and Uzward Fortnightly - Diocese of Udupi.

The 'Godali Sadagara' contest received a good response from the general public. This event was organised for the fifth time. The contest was held in two categories - individual and group.

Crib making has been an integral part of the Christmas celebrations. Every household will create cribs during the Christmas season and remember the birth of Lord Jesus. Youths work together and build large cribs in the church premises. To encourage this tradition consecutively for the fifth year, the ’Godali Sadagara’ competition was organised.

The contest was supported by Tanishq Udupi, World of Titan Udupi, Titan Eye Plus and Cotton King.

Renowned compere Alwyn Danthy was the judge for the competition. Sharing his experience of judging the competition, he said, “Very good number of creative entries have appeared in the competition. I really appreciate the efforts of our youths. Even though the Christmas season is always filled with many functions and other activities around, youths of our community have spared their time to make the crib in many creative ways. Some have used even wastes to make the crib which is very much creative. Natural greenery is also very much evident in the crib making. I congratulate all the winners and also all the participants who have taken part this year. I wish that they participate again in the next year. I thank the organisers and the sponsors for their effort.”
