The Katamaraju epic is often referred to as a ballad cycle by Telugu language Telugu scholars. It is composed of a number of episodes which are often sung independently. During the annual ceremonies honoring the lives of the deified heroes of the epic, large numbers of people of the Shepherd Kuruba caste and kommavaru caste, gather on the banks of the Palar River where the great battle took place and perform a ritual dramatization in connection with the recitation of the epic. The Epic The epic recounts the story of Katamaraju,the king of Kanigiri, a Yaduvanshi Yadava , king who fought a battle with Nalla Siddi, the king of Nellore , on the banks of the Paleru River in the Thirteenth Century. Katamaraju, due to severe drought conditions, had migrated with his people to the fertile lands of Nellore. There he entered a covenant with the king of Nellore for grazing his cattle and sheep. Due to a misunderstanding, the covenant was broken and resulted in a tremendous battle in which many of the great heroes on both sides lost their lives. It is a belief that Yaduvanshi Yadavas have a life span of sixty years from chitrabhanu year to chitrabhanu year. In katamaraju time, when chitrabhanu year becomes visible in near future the three gods brahma , vishnu , maheswara makes their life miserable at srisailam and forces them to move to nellore lands ruled by king nalasiddi by appearing as balijas.

Image IvanVazov.jpeg frame Ivan Vazov Epic of the Forgotten lang bg Epopeya na zabravenite is a Bulgaria n poetic saga written by Ivan Vazov to commemorate the Bulgarian fight for freedom against the Ottoman Empire and to criticize the moral decline of the Bulgarian nation after the Liberation, in comparison to the heroic figures and events of the then recent past. It could be said that the Epic formed the Bulgarian national consciousness and created many of the Bulgarian historical legends and myths. It served as an interpretation of the struggle against the Ottoman Empire and mostly the April Uprising not in its real values the limited number of participants and the military failure of the uprising but in its morals. The Bulgarian fight for freedom was interpreted as a sacred act of heroes exactly because it did not have any perceivable chance of success. Despite the lack of demographic, military and other such possibilities of success against the Ottoman Empire which was still militarily resilient, the Bulgarians toiled under dire circumstances against it. The failure itself turned into a moral success and granted the Bulgarians the right to be free. The Bulgarian word epopeya derives from the French word pop e , which means an epic poem .
