Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A Kole Basava (also known as Gangireddu in Telugu), a decorated ox (also known as basava) with its master (gangireddollu in Telugu) in a Bengaluru (Bangalore) street. Gangireddollus are people of nomadic castes like "jangam" from the Andhra-Karnataka region who receive old oxen from farmers after the oxen become unfit for farming. The gangireddollus walk from door to door begging for old used clothes. They blow trumpet to entertain to the people whose house they visit. In Andhra Pradesh and Telegana they visit houses where people would come out to offer food to the ox and take blessings as the oxen and cattle as a whole are regarded as holy. The "gangireddullus" after receiving the oxen take out the metal shoes and sell them. They take care of the oxen until the death of the animal and then sell them to the brahmins (priests) and chamars (castes who tan animal skin).
