We visited 4 places around Kamalapuram namely Thondiyala, Malleru Gutta, Regulagoodam and Oriya Colony.
Thondiyala: This place which is 8km from Kamalapuram is a typical village where in all houses are made up of just mud and wood. These schedule tribes called adivasulu still practice the age old traditions in all walks of their life like storing the grains in a container called Ghumma. We met a person named Kanthayya who is the oldest learned man. He was born in 1935 and had studied till 6th class in those days of Nizam’s rule. They used to culti vated crops like Jonnalu, Sajjalu. Explaining about the then agricultural practices.
• Few past repellants he mentioned are Kodise rotte (stem), Vishamusthti which are mixed in irrigation water. • Another interested plant called Eama rottaku which is tied to the wooden sticks and are rooted at four corners of the field. The air which flows in to the
field comes in contact with the l eaves of this plant and acquires a special characteristic of destroying the pests inside the field. • The stems of Booriga Tree are used for making baskets as it has light weight and is strong. • Ippa Flowers are used for preparing alcohol and are given as p rasadham in Bhadrachalam. Ippa seeds are used for preparing oil which i s used for cooking, lightening and for hair. He also mentioned the procedure. Few medicinal plants he mentioned are…. • Jeedi seeds are heated and the acid that comes out is applied to cure the wounds. • The juice of Guntagarida leaves when put on the f orehead relieves headache. • Dog bite is treated using Uduguchattu.
Festivals:
Vithu Pandaga: Celebrated just before planting the seeds, praying to their goddess Sammakka-Sarakka for the prosperity of their agriculture.
Pacha Pandaga: Celebrated by thanking their god for a good beginning of their agriculture.
Problems : Briefing their problems they told that they have no good transportaion, education, health facilities. Despite having sufficient underground water resources they rely mostly on rain water as they could not afford for digging bores.
Mallurigutta: This is a hilly area as the name itself indicates, located 10kms. From Kamalapuram. Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple is located on the top of this Hemalaya hill, amidst a thick forest which occupies around 5km radius.
The priest of the temple narrated the story behind he establishment of it.
The story is as follows: During 2nd Century B.C. a king named Dilipakarni conquered this place and he resided along with his army. One ni ght he heard a voice in his sleep which ordered him to stop conquering places and killing people and asked him to dig the mountain at a place where bright light appears at Brahma Muhurtham to find him(Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy). Thus the templ e was established and is believed that the problems of the people who come over there would be solved. Situated at the beginning of the temple and inside the forest there is a small water flow which comes from mountains. This water is said to be pure and cures all the diseases as it crosses the roots of many herbal plants. Also this temple has a board which explains the l ist of all herbal plants that could be found in the forest.
Regulagudem: This is a small village which around 38 families located 5km from Kamalapuram. These Adhivasis had migrated from Chattishgadh forest and are Rasakoyas. Their language is called Gondi. They rely mostly on the forest for food. They go for hunting animals li ke Rabits, Dhuppulu, forest pigs, udumulu,(they catch these with the help of wild dogs), deers with the help of bow and arrow. They use the stem of Kanuga trees for brushing. The women over here wear lungis instead of sarees. And the marriage here takes place without any dowry . The festivals they celebrate here are Kothala Pandaga, and Girijana Pandaga and they worship goddess called Muthyalamma.
This small village has school named Alter Little School and the villagers here have around 187 acres of land which they cultivate and consume among themselves. They have only one well from where they get th e drinking water. They rely on rain water for their irrigation. During summer they don’t find and work and thus find any work and thus find i t difficult for their livelihood. And this village has absolutely no electricity and transportation facilities. Despite of all these problems they are reluctant to come form this place.
Oriya Colony:
This colony is in the town itself. These people have migrated from Chattishgadh in 1977 for some labour work. Since then most of them settled here and became accustomed with Hindu Culture and traditions. Few interesting practices they follow are : Before every Dasara they cut the trunk of burugu tree in the forest and get it to the village without putting it down anywhere. They hope this tree would bring prosperity in their li ves. And the temple they have doesn’t contain any statues but has only paintings of gods and goddesses.
Village visited : Dubba Tanda Period of the Project : 11-13 June, 2009
Dubba Thanda: This village is 2km from Thorrur and 55kms from Warangal. It consists of Lambadas who migrated from Suryapet 100 years before. Somaji, a 85 year old person is the founder of this Thanda. He studied till 4th class in those days of Nizams rule. This person fought with Nizams and distributed 300 acres of land to all his people. Thus even today everyone in the Thanda praises his selflessness and gives him utmost respect.
The marriage of Lambadas used to take place for around 6 months. They celebrate 4 festivals in between: 1. Vayubhandhe – The bridegroom is made to sit and take bath amidst 4 pots which are put in 4 corners of the house. 2. Ghota : Panakam is made and distributed to the whole village. 3. Ghot : During this festival a sheep is sacrificed in the name of God and he meat is distributed to all the families in the village. 4. Finally the bride is sent to the mother in law’s house on a cow.
The following are the festivals they celebrate:
1. Panidhadhi: This is the biggest festival they celebrate. Whole villagers fix a date every 3 years and celebrate this festival. 2. Seethala : During this festival animals are made to cross a tree under
which 7 stones are put. Thus they believe that their cattle would be healthy. 3. Bathukamma: This is a 9 day festival during which wheat seeds are germinated and the finally left into the lakes. They celebrate this for the prosperity of their fields.
Dress : The Lambadas have a typical dress. Of course most of t hem are not wearing this dress these days. Bangles : These bangles are made up of ivory. D uring marriage the bangles worn on the forearm are shifted to the upper arm and new bangles are worn again on the forearm. The bangles worn on the upper arm would be removed if her husband dies.
Chunni : This is beautifully decorated with mirrors all around and these mirrors will be removed if her husband dies.
Kadiyam : This is worn during marriage to the right leg of the bride. They also have typical ornaments which are made up of gold, copper and silver. Also most of the scheduled tribes put d esigns on their skin with pachabottu which is a kid of style for them.
On the last day we met an interesting person named Vinay Kumar. This person does real estate business, hotel business, he is a teacher and also an expert in Ayurvedham.
These are the few interesting things he mentioned with us:
1. For body pains to be cured vamu should be heated and mixed with honey and should be applied. 2. Right leg / Hand paralysis: Juice of pill ade leaves should be applied. 3. Left leg/hand paralysis : Juice of Ekapeeta (this tree grows under jilledi trees) stem should be applied. 4. For a person who took poison a small drop of ingalikam powder when kept on his tongue would oust everything present in hi s stomach. 5. For kids who always cry for food – he said there will be few insects which eat away the food given to the kid and these can be removed by appl ying the
juice of somidi leaves like oil. Then pour water on his body from 10 m and we can see the insects coming out of the kid’s body. He also mentioned about a small innovation which was exhibited during science fair by his children. And that is :
A copper wire is to be wound to an iron pulley and during one pull of the pulley we can generate electricity that can be stored and used for 2-3 hours.
We have also conducted a bio diversity competition and had good response from the children in the vill age. The following are few medicinal plants we heard about:
