Tirupati Gangamma Jatara
The Gangamma Jatara is the great folk festival of Tirupati's village goddess, Sri Tatayyagunta Gangamma. For about a week the town celebrates with colourful veshams – devotees take on a different disguise each day, remembering how the Goddess outwitted a tyrant – ending with the Viswaroopa darshan of the Goddess.
