Mythology & Gods
The Koya consciousness is said to be revolving around Sammakka — a tribal woman, who existed in the thirteenth century. She is said to have magical powers as she was found playing with a tiger in the forests. Sammakka, her daughter Sarakka, and son Jampanna organized the tribals to resist the Kakatiya invasion of tribal areas.
