Buffalos are decorated with garlands of flowers, painted horns and are paraded through the streets.

The participants dance to the sounds of teen maar music.

Members of the Yadav community bring buffalos from different parts of the country for the annual event, also known as 'Dunnapothula Panduga'.

Sadar festival is said to have been started in 1942.
