Many tribal Devotees from different states of India (A.P, M.P, Chattisgarh, Orissa, Maharastra, Karnataka, and parts of Jharkhand)reach the festive place to celebrate the Jatara.
Devotees believe in Goddesses Sammakka, and Sarakka fulfills their desires with their divine and miraculous powers. Issueless Couples visit to pray to the goddesses to bless them with children while young girls pray for good life partners. Devotees pay their promises made to the goddess during the Jatra, by offering Jaggery, calves, coconuts, and donations in cash, etc. Pilgrims take baths in the Jampanna Stream to get purified and absolve of sins.
