Over 100 members of the Mesram tribal clan have begun their traditional barefoot trek of more than 150 kilometres to fetch Ganga Jal from the Godavari river for the Nagoba Jatara in Adilabad. The water, drawn in a 1,400-year-old brass vessel from Hastanamadugu in Mancherial district, will be used for rituals and idol cleansing.
