Decorated Bull

'Gangireddu' is a multicolored decorated bull walking from one house to the other led by its master who plays the 'Nadaswaram' or holy chants during Sankranti. Bulls are trained to dance or perform acrobatics to entertain the crowd. The Gangireddu earn money, clothes and grains in return to the performance, and are active during the Sankranti and Dusshera festivals. Poor bull.
