Festival Shandy is still a center of environmental attraction

Shandy, popularly known as ‘Taru Maru Santa,’ organized by G Madugula Mandal Headquarters in Andhra Pradesh a week before the Makar Sankranti celebration, witnessed the enthusiastic participation of hundreds of youth.

Translated as a weekly market, Festival Shandy was historically a significant platform for parents to discuss potential matches for their children in the context of marriage.

Beyond serving as a meeting point in various areas, it has also become a gathering space for inviting relatives to one’s home during the Sankranti festival. Referred to as Panduga Santa or Festival Shandy, it has evolved into a traditional practice.

Its name and origin are deeply rooted in the tribal customs of the region, with people exchanging greetings through Zora Namaskar, where friends lean slightly forward and join hands.

In the past, the barter system played a crucial role during Shandy, as people exchanged goods. This system involved trading clothes and other items.

During the time when transport services, roads, and communication networks were nonexistent in the Jabte area three decades ago, Shandy served as the primary means for relatives from different areas to connect. This included businesses from the undivided Visakhapatnam District, Godavari District, and Odisha.

Expert Glory Rambabu shared that her grandfather met her grandmother during a Shandy event in the early ’80s and later married her, emphasizing the role of Shandy as a space for personal connections.

Glory Ramabu also noted that in the past, it was a tradition to propose to and marry a girl of one’s choice during the Shandy event.

The first Shandy event took place at the graveyard of A G Madugula in the Maoist-hit area and was named Gunda Santa, meaning ‘land’ where Gundalu refers to the graveyard.

Arun Kumar, a businessman, mentioned that a decade ago, Shandy used to start from the graveyard area and conclude in Knocke around 10 pm.

Despite the absence of marriage-related programs for the youth in the current new year, people from various tribal communities continue to actively participate in Shandy, showcasing its enduring cultural significance.
