Sangareddy: Yela Amavasya celebrated in a grand manner on Karnataka border

Sangareddy: Farmers living on the Karnataka border have celebrated Yela Amavasya with great pomp. On this day, farmers will wake up in the morning and prepare some special dishes in their homes. They will leave for their respective areas along with their family members. After building a small hut using the harvested jowar crop, the female head of the family would worship Goddess Lakshmi. Later they will have lunch with their family members. Speaking to Telangana Today, Gandla Premla, a woman farmer from Kangti, said that she would prepare Bajji Kura from newly harvested red gram and other vegetables. The farmer said that roti with jowar will also taste very tasty. However, Farmers will have Jonah Ambali as the starter at the festival lunch. Since the soil gives them so much throughout the year, farmers would consider it time to spend some time in the lap of the soil by praying and remembering their connection with the soil. This festival is also celebrated grandly on the other side of the border in Karnataka and Maharashtra.
