“Sankranti Festival means a lot to us – a time to celebrate the harvest and changing seasons. Over the three days, we sing devotional songs, walk along with our Gangireddu representing a good harvest, seek blessings, and hope for a fruitful season. Our music blends with Gangireddu beats, showcasing unity in Hyderabad. Haridasas join us, along with copper pots, tamburas, and anklets, singing harikeerthanas on the streets.
As we continue with our beats, we hold onto traditions passed down through the years. It’s about preserving our culture, passing it on from one generation to the next.”
