Punters make online transactions and ATMs run out of cash at several places
Huge tents, floodlights, make-shift hotels, fast food centres, biryani points, and parking lots. The cockfight arenas at many villages have these and much more.
Despite a ban on the blood sport, rooster fights have been organised in a big way in East and West Godavari, Krishna, and other districts of the State during the three-day Sankranti celebrations.
The cockfight arenas have witnessed heavy rush, with the punters betting high on each game. Crores of rupees have changed hands.

The highlight of every edition of the Whitefield Art Collective is the Kala Car, an exhibit that showcases the creative and artistic prowess of art students. Over the years, this clever play on words has titled vehicles that have either been rescued from the scrap yard or sponsored or auctioned or all of the above.
