Medaram Jatara - 2016


Sammakka Saralamma jatara is here again in Warangal.  This will be held from 17th to 20th of February.  Lakhs of people will be visiting Medaram to celebrate.  On these day it will be difficult to visit the pedestal of Goddess.  So, many people have started visiting Medaram and presenting their offerings from past two weeks. The rush is more on Sundays.  Here are few pictures taken at Medaram Jatara on 24th - Sunday.
