Koya Doras, an attraction at Medaram Jatara

Scores of Koya Doras, members of the forest-dwelling Koya tribes from the erstwhile Warangal district, are selling a unique variety of flora, including various plants and roots and tree branches said to be from dense woodlands, at the ongoing Sammakka-Saralamma Jatara. These herbs are highly sought after by devotees thronging the Medaram tribal shrine. Many believe in the mystical practices of Koya Doras, who are known for their foretelling skills.
