He was a renowned 12th-century philosopher, poet, social reformer, and is known for his teachings on social equality, human rights, and the rejection of the caste system.

23 April 2023 Sunday Basava Jayanti marks the birth anniversary of Basavanna, a 12th-century poet-philosopher. He was the founding saint of the Lingayat sect. It is a regional festival of Karnataka and a state holiday observed in this state.
