Hyderabad: Millions of worshippers offered gold and jaggery to the goddesses at the gaddas at Medaram Jatara, a renowned tribal festival in Telangana. The festival is set to conclude today.
On Friday alone, an estimated five million devotees visited the site. Devotees who visited Sakkama-Saralamma on Friday faced difficulties returning, as RTC buses were insufficient. Many waited at the bus stands overnight, expressing frustration over the lack of transport. In response, RTC officials are dispatching additional buses to manage the crowds.
On Thursday night around 10 pm, Sammakka Thalli appeared at the gaddhe, attracting a large crowd. The event led to a minor stampede among both VIP and general devotees, especially near the TTD building, Jampanna Vagu, and RTC junction.
