“Our journey to the Medaram Jatara 2024 has begun, and it’s a relief to have special TSRTC buses arranged for the devotees across Telangana for a hassle-free and economical ride directly to the temple. This isn’t just about reaching a destination; it’s a deeply personal pilgrimage to honor Sammakka and Saralamma, the revered goddesses who hold a special place in our hearts.
Medaram Jatara, hailed as the nation’s biggest tribal festival, is now being considered for UNESCO’s prestigious ‘intangible cultural heritage of humanity’ designation. The Jatara, observed once-in-two-years over four days, marks the goddesses’ arrival at Medaram, culminating in their symbolic entry into the forest. It’s a sacred time when the spiritual realm merges with our earthly existence, drawing devotees to seek the blessings of Sammakka and Saralammakka.
As we approach the temple, a rush of emotions floods over us – gratitude for the opportunity to partake in this sacred tradition, anticipation for the spiritual journey ahead, and a profound connection to our cultural heritage.”
