Thousands of Tribal Devotees Gather for Dammakka Seva Yatra

A big religious festival called the Dammakka Seva Yatra happened in Bhadrachalam.

Thousands of tribal people came to the Sri Sita Ramachandra Swamy temple.

They first took a holy bath in the Godavari River, then prayed and sang.

A special procession carried a picture of Pokala Dammakka, a woman who helped bring back the idols of Lord Rama.

The highlight was a wedding ceremony for Lord Rama and Sita that many people saw for the first time.

Temple priests sang many songs and offered fruits and flowers.

Officials from the local government and tribal leaders were also there, and they gave gifts to married tribal women.

The event shows how the temple and tribal community stay connected through faith.
