The famous “Sadar” festival (Buffalo carnival) celebrated by the Yadava community will be officially organised by the state government in Hyderabad and other parts of the state.

The buffalo carnival is famous in Hyderabad and held the day after Diwali with pomp and gaiety. Members of the Yadava community take out decorated bulls as part of “Dunnapothula panduga” and parade them before gatherings, mostly in Narayanaguda, Chintal Basti, Yellareddyguda, Ghasmandi, Old Bhoiguda, Madhapur, Kacheguda and other places.

At the festival, prizes are given to the best bulls with their horns painted in vibrant colors, and also for acrobatics by the bulls and their trainers, and for display of swordsmanship and dances by local Yadava celebration committees.
