Nagoba Jatara (Keslapur)
The Nagoba Jatara at Keslapur in Adilabad is the sacred festival of the Mesram clan of the Gond and Pardhan communities, honouring Nagoba, the divine serpent and their supreme deity. It begins with a midnight Mahapuja using holy Godavari water brought on foot by the elders, and includes the Bheting ceremony that welcomes new brides into the clan.
