Event Description
Prabhala Teertham at Aparna Sarovar🌴 🌴🌴🏢, highlights the importance of ancient Indian brilliance and it’s rural ethnic aura through a village fair and fest – a forum that facilitates the opportunity of self-experience for both makers and visitors. The diverse potpourri of devotional customs and rituals, classical and street, art forms, food and traditional cooking, games and engaging activities, countryside vendors, and handmade products are handed over to the next generation with underlying values of community living. A wide demographic section of society comes forward with innovative ideas, keen participation, and overwhelming response. Senior citizens go back to memory lane, become children, and share stories opening up more avenues to explore. Prabhala Teertham🌴 🌴🌴🏢, a 450-year-old 17th-century tradition started at the time of Maharaja Jagganna and turned as an inspiration all the way. People hailing from various states of India come together to carry Lord Shiva mounted on the unique Konaseema adorable prabhas across a musical and lively procession. Prabhala Teertham, adapted at Aparna Sarovar, is a union of Rudrashaktis that resonates as a union of mankind. Every attempt in mind, word, and action is an offering to ishwara parmeshwara.
Unique and Special
Konaseema Prabhas –
Our wonderful friends at the villages Pulle Tikurru and Peddapudi from the Konaseema region of East Godavari district provide inspirational and kind-hearted support in making the open palanquins of the lord namely ‘Prabhas’. Every year they travel all the way to Hyderabad and help us in assembling and decorating our beloved Parmeshwara’s Prabhas. We thank Sh. A. Bhaskar Rao Garu, Smt. A. V. R. Subbalakshmi, Sh. A. Ramesh Babu Garu, Sh. M. Bhanuprakash garu, Sh. C. Venkatesh Garu, and Sh. G. Nataraj Garu for hand-holding us all through. This endeavor is possible only because of them. A unique artistic craft of making an arch-shaped mesh of bamboo, decorating them with pure silk drapes, brass pasidi gopuram, palavelli, bells, Vijaya ghantas – the rice grain hangings, baby pumpkin, and more is outstanding and beyond imagination. The very inception management and accomplishment of this exclusive magnificence takes around three months across Konaseema and Hyderabad. Salutations to the hearts and the hands that manifest glorious Prabhas. Jai Sharabha Shiva!
Mahasahasra Lingas –
A silver Mahalinga with 1120 golden Shivalingas! Om Namah Shivay 
. Creative experts of Aparna Sarovar took up this challenge as a maha yajna and accomplished it over several months across two years. It is said that in God’s creation, there are 7 lookalikes. With the lord’s blessings, our wonderful artists have made 1120 lookalikes. Their work is not just art and management, it’s devotion and a feeling beyond words. We can never thank lord Shiva enough who handheld the team through the entire sojourn. Salutations to the entire team. Only you can think of it and you did it! Jai Sharabha Shivay!
Be The Weaver –
Thank you to our fantabulous weavers who helped our community members weave threads and manifest smiles. An impact program that has woven the rural and urban lives through self-experience. We make threads around the Charkha. We not just feel the what of a fabric, but also the how of it. Where? At our very own Aparna Sarovar! When? Parameshwara’s Prabhala Teertham! Why? The impact speaks.
Veedhi Garadi Street Magic –
What is – isn’t… and What isn’t – is 
. Its maya all the way. No stage and no tunnel underneath. The veedhi garadi artist is interlocked within a fabric of a beautifully enthralled audience. The artist has no way to escape, but he makes a child next to him vanish in thin air, who appears later unimaginably! Speaks in 14-15 languages and charms you to his abracadabra. Only 2 or 3 professional veedhi garadi artists are left in the country, Should only God save the art or should we also do it?
Jantar Mantar. The Mystery Maze –
A quest for the mind, a test to the brain, and a feast to the eyes. Go jantar mantar – mantar jantar and voila, an ethnic village retreat is the treat. Beautifully done by Abode Montessori International School
36 Feet Painting –
Life is beautiful and so is its depiction through art formats. Ladies of Sarovar manifested a warli painting portraying several walks of beautiful rural life across a 36-feet journey. With all drawn by an individual, painted by many, and loved by all, it’s not just a painting, It’s a story of people who care to smile even through the toughest of times. Jai Sharabha Shivay!
