The festival is known for its spirit of unity, bringing people together across caste and religious boundaries.

This year, the spotlight is on Vastad Guman Kali Dunnaraju, brought from Kerala by Daruwala Madhu Yadav. Weighing 2,500 kg and stretching 7 feet in width, this bull is valued at an astonishing ₹2.5 crore, making it the festival’s main highlight.

According to Madhu Yadav, the bull consumes 10 liters of milk daily, along with a few kilograms of apples and dry fruits. In addition to a protein-rich diet, it also receives Royal Salute medicine worth ₹31,000. Alongside Vastad Guman Kali Dunnaraju, 15 more bulls have been brought from Haryana and Kerala to participate in this year’s celebrations.

The Sadar festival promises to be a spectacular display of tradition, strength, and celebration, with Vastad Guman Kali Dunnaraju taking center stage as Hyderabad gears up for this annual extravaganza.
