Rajamahendravaram: Haridasu having a bowl (Akshaya Patra) on his head tied with a turban and a tambua with a hand wearing a colorful dress attracts people during Sankranthi festival. Haridasus will go to each house for bhiksha and respective housewives offer bhiksha with spiritual thinking that they are giving bhiksha to the god. This system is in force from many centuries.
