City’s markets were abuzz with activity, as people made last-minute purchases on Monday, the Ugadi eve. Markets at Besant Road, One Town, Kaleswara Rao Market area, Vastralata and Patamata saw customer rush from the morning itself.
The city’s Rythu Bazaars and flower and vegetable markets were crowded with customers buying essentials for the festival.
The markets were bustling with buyers as demand surged for mango leaves, neem flowers, fruits, sugarcane, and other traditional essentials used in the preparation of the traditional Ugadi ‘pacchadi’, a dish made in the homes of the Telugu people as part of the Ugadi celebrations.
