Contestants' visit to Bhoodan Pochampally well received by artisans, weavers of the village
A vivid celebration of Telangana's cultural tapestry awaited 25 African delegates of the World Beauty Pageant as they arrived at Pochampally Park in Bhoodan Pochampally on Thursday.
The space was adorned with Ikat weaves, vibrant marigold garlands, and traditional Bathukamma arrangements, presenting a lively snapshot of the region's artistic and festive spirit.
As dusk settled, the contestants, immersed in the colourful ambience, danced to the resonant tunes of the Kinnera—a traditional string instrument native to the region.
With local drums echoing through the air, several participants enthusiastically joined the musicians, trying their hand at percussion alongside the artists.
Eager to learn about the celebrated weaves of Telangana, the visitors were introduced to the intricacies of the fabrics, step by step.
