Festivals

Ugadi is the Telugu New Year, celebrated on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada. Families begin the year with Ugadi pachadi of six tastes and gather to hear the new year's Panchanga Shravanam.

The Komuravelli Mallanna Jatara is the long festive season of Sri Mallikarjuna Swamy – Mallanna – at Komuravelli in Siddipet district. After his kalyanam with Golla Kethamma and Medalamma in December, devotees throng the hill every Sunday from Sankranti to Ugadi, while Oggu pujaris draw the sacred patnam and sing the Lord's story.
