The annual Kodi Pandalu(Cock fight) has returned to the Godavari region of Andhra Pradesh as the Sankranti festival season has fully engulfed. As expected, heavy money is being pumped into the gambling ring surrounding these super popular Kodi Pandalu.
Now let us have a look into the story of an individual named Ramesh, who won a massive ₹1.53 crore after winning a Kodi Pandem round in Tadepalligudem today.
Ramesh from Rajahmundry won a whooping Rs 1.53 crore prize money all thanks to his rooster.
In the cock-fight held at Tadepalligudem in Andhra Pradesh as part of the Sankranthi celebrations, Ramesh’s ‘dega’ cock won over Prabhakar Kola’s ‘sethuva’ cock in a match that lasted just a few minutes.
The bounty for this cock fight was reportedly 1.53 crore and the winner takes all of it. Subsequently, it was Ramesh who won over the veteran Prabhakar and he got the entire share of the prize money in a matter of a few minutes.
While Andhra Pradesh historically has been a major cock-fight destination, especially during Sankranthi festival, there have been strict orders over betting and gambling over cock-fights. But such activities happen regardless of these circumstances considering the long lineage and social acceptance here locally.
