Adivasis flock Jangubai temple

Adivasis of Mankguda in Danthanpalli to Jangubai temple

All roads are leading to cave temple of Jangubai located in the deep jungles in Kerameri mandal on the borders of Telangana and Maharashtra states.

Thousands of Adivasi devotees from Maharashtra and Telangana districts are coming here to have darshan of Goddess Jangubai to fulfill their vows.

As Adivasis believe that goddess Jangubai used to stay in the caves, the religious heads of eight Gond clans are now lighting an earthen lamp in the cave. Having darshan of Jangubai gives a spiritual experience which cannot be described in words.

Adivasis come with their families and other villagers as a group. They stay in the jungles only during the night time and start their journey covering all their religious places enroute to the Jangubai temple. 

The pilgrimage to the Jangubai may even take one week or more for the people of distant places in the Adilabad and other parts of Telangana and also bordering Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Odisha.

The material required for religious event and other luggage will kept in bullock carts and some time place their children in them and the elders walk on foot.

They strongly believe that Jangubai is powerful goddess and their wishes will be fulfilled if they pray for her. Though they have been performing special pujas at Jangubai from the time immemorial, the number of devotees coming to the temple is increasing now.

Jangubai temple chairman Marapa Bhajirao, said the special pujas will be performed at the temple thrice in a year and it starts in the pusyamas and will continue in the entire month and added the drinking water has become major problem for the devotees and the Telangana government must make proper arrangements.
