Armed with traditional bows and arrows, members of the Koya tribe are venturing into deep forests for hunting as part of their annual tribal festival, Bhumi Panduga.
The festival is celebrated as before the commencement of agricultural operations during the monsoon in the Godavari Agency area in Andhra Pradesh.
Hunting for two or three days is mandatory for men in the Koya habitation during the Bhumi Panduga.
