The picturesque ‘Swarnala Cheruvu’ in Nellore was a hive of activity on the ‘Rottela Panduga’, the roti festival, as people of all faiths exchanged rotis on Saturday at the Bara Shaheed Dargah.
Tens of thousands of devotees waited in a serpentine queue to offer prayers, observing the annual ‘Urs’ in the month of Muharram in memory of the 12 martyrs who were killed in a battle with the British troops in the 18th century.
