Later, they would have lunch with their family members. Speaking to Telangana Today, Gandla Premala, a woman farmer from Kangti, has said that she would prepare Bajji Kura with newly harvested Redgram and other vegetables. The farmer said that it would be delicious to have along with Jowar Roti.

However, the farmers will have Jonna Ambali as a starter in the festival lunch. Since the soil gives so much to them throughout the year, the farmers would see it is time to spend some time in the lap of the soil by praying and remembering the association they had with the soil. The festival is also celebrated on a grand note on the other side of the border in Karnataka and Maharastra.
