Question

How can you say that Ranga still followed his rituals and traditions

Answer 1

Ranga was a brahmin by caste and did not forget traditional culture after going to Bangalore.

He wore the traditional sacred thread which has to be worn by Brahmins.

When he returned to Hoshialli he touched the feet of all elders to show his respect.

This shows that he followed all rituals.

Answer 2

After returning from Bangalore on completion of studies, Ranga still followed the ritual he had learned as a child.

This can be seen from the fact the he still wore the religious thread and touched the feet of elders when he met them after returning to his village from Bangalore.
