People are keen on performing this ritual as COVID-19 rears its ugly head
Kiran, a B.Tech graduate from a forest-fringe village in Narayanavanam mandal in Chittoor district, was happy after getting a job at a supermarket in Bengaluru. Being the sole bread winner of his family, this job meant everything to him.
The nation-wide lockdown induced by the coronavirus pandemic last year dashed his hopes as he lost his job. However, he resumed his job after the situation eased. But he lost it again after Bengaluru emerged a COVID hotspot during the second wave of pandemic and he had to return to his native village.

Panic gripped the hamlets close to the Chittoor-Tamil Nadu border after a nine-member herd of wild elephants fatally attacked a 52-year-old farmer at Tanjavur village of Yadamarri mandal (Chittoor district), 25 km from here, on Thursday morning.
According to the villagers, the victim, Valligan (52), a speech and hearing impaired farmer, was reliving himself at the edge of his field abutting a pond around 6.00 am, after finishing his night vigil. Farmers in the neighboring fields were also getting ready to return home, when they spotted a nine-member herd of wild elephants marching towards the forests of Paradarami (TN), after emerging from the pond. In a few seconds, the herd starting running towards Valligan, whose back was facing the jumbos. The farmers made vain shouts to warn Valligan.
