One of the most distinctive features of the Halakki Gowdas is their traditional attire. The women in this community have tanned skin and are often seen wearing colorful saris tied like sarongs.
The Halakki Gowdas have safeguarded age-old farming methods customized to suit the climate and landscape of their region. They have traditionally followed the Kumbri agriculture system.
The cultural heritage of the Halakki Gowdas extends beyond their attire and agricultural practices. Their language, Achchagannada, resembles Telugu, hinting at their historical migration from Andhra.
