Hyderabad:Hundreds of decorated bulls and thousands of families from the Yadav community gathered at Narayanguda on Tuesday for the annual Sadar Sammelan, also known as Dunnapothula Panduga.
Processions featuring decorated bulls, brass bands, decorative lights and drumbeats made their way to the venue. Community members participated in dances as large crowds gathered to watch the celebrations.
Bulls brought from different parts of the country were among the main attractions at the event. Some community members reportedly spent substantial amounts on arrangements for the processions.
The celebrations, which begin after sunset and continue until dawn, also serve as an occasion for families to meet and pass on the community's traditions to the younger generation.
Jala Krishna Kana Yadav, a dairy farm owner, said, “I have been visiting this Dunnapothula Panduga since my childhood. We celebrate Lord Krishna lifting the Govardhan. These events will safeguard our culture and tradition.”
