Written by: DM Seshagiri, Hyderabad Jonnagiri (village) Kurnool (District) Andhra Pradesh: Due to drastic change in climate direct effect is farmer, usually farmers after sowing seeds, if once the rain hits then he gets harvested. Whereas in Andhra Pradesh hundreds flock to the fields not to cultivate, they are also in the field to test their luck.. not in cultivation!! Yes not in cultivation but to test their luck in searching for precious diamonds... Locals call it a tradition, but for many, it''s a once in a lifetime gamble. As soon as the monsoon begins, people from various districts of AP even from Karnataka rush to the region’s outskirts, particularly around Pagidirayi, Jonnagiri, and Peravali, armed with nothing but hope and a sharp eye. The dusty farmlands of Tuggal, Maddikera, Jonnagiri, Upparapalli, Bollavanipalle, Husenapuram, and Peravali in Pattikonda constituency of Kurnool turn into diamond grounds for fortune seekers from dawn till dusk. Every year, during the monsoon, this scene repeats itself people camping for days or even months, combing the muddy fields from sunrise to sunset. It’s a striking sight: men, women, even entire families, walking with bent backs and focused eyes, searching every inch of soil in hope of finding that one glimmering stone that could change their life.
