We have traveled to Chendrajugaripalli located 25 KM from Royachoti Taluk which is 50 KM away from Kadapa district of Andhra Pradhesh, India. This is my inlaws village. I preferred to be in village for the sankratri celebration as its a festival of village. The big change I noticed is Many of the villagers settled in various town are come back to their village to celebrate the festival. For the old people who are staying in villages, its a big relief and leaves good memories for them. I have observed lively atmosphere in the village for the festival and most of the youth came forward and arranged events like Chakka Bhajana, Dance programmes and funny games. Valley ball court was prepared on the fly and many people came forward to play the Valley Ball.

On Khanuma day morning we have passed the time in playing Valley Ball and some people are busy with cards. Later in the evening every one assembled and celebrated Chitlakuppa.
