Pushya Masam Ignites Devotion: Adilabad District Brims with Tribal Festivals

• Pushya Masam marks a period of intense spiritual activity and grand tribal festivals across the erstwhile Adilabad district, deeply rooted in Adivasi traditions.
• Adivasi tribals observe strict vows during this sacred month, including barefoot journeys, abstaining from alcohol and non-vegetarian food, and performing special prayers to deities.
• Major festivals like Jangubai shrine's month-long event, Khandev Jatara, and the state's second-largest Nagoba Jatara in Keslapur are underway or commencing.
• Mesram clan tribals have begun their journey to collect sacred Ganga waters for the Nagoba Jatara, which starts on Pushya Amavasya after reaching Keslapur on January 14.
• The district anticipates a month or two of fervent devotion with various festivals, including the upcoming Budundev Jatara and Sammakka-Saralamma Jatara, attracting devotees from multiple states.

Why It Matters: Pushya Masam transforms erstwhile Adilabad into a vibrant hub of Adivasi tribal devotion and festivals.
