Need some help for a graduation project

Hello! I'm a design graduate currently working on a project exploring the cultural identity of Telugu Speaking states. As part of this research, I'm examining the festivals and traditions and places that are significant in shaping the cultural landscape. My goal is to create a meaningful narrative that captures the essence of the state, its traditions, and the stories of its people. To do this, I’m looking for insights, suggestions, and recommendations on: 1. **Places**: Iconic landmarks, historical sites, or villages that are deeply rooted in Telangana’s heritage. (gunpark, osmania) 2. **Traditions**: Festivals, art forms, or rituals that are unique to our region and reflect our distinct identity. (samakka sarakka, bathukamma) 3. **Historical Moments**: Key events that have shaped Telangana’s history and culture, especially those tied to its journey of becoming a separate state. 4. **People**: Individuals or communities who have significantly contributed to preserving or promoting Telangana’s culture, traditions, or history. (Nalla Narasimhulu, Doddi Komuraiah, or some contemporaries) I’d also love to connect with anyone who can share personal stories or memories about Telangana’s rich past and evolving present. If you know someone who might be open to an interview or a casual conversation, I’d be very grateful for an introduction. Evaraina contacts kani suggestions kani isthe, that'd be great. Note: My interest is purely academic, and I respect all perspectives and cultural practices. I aim to understand these traditions in their broader cultural and historical context. You can reach out to me @ [202314013@daiict.ac.in](mailto:202314013@daiict.ac.in) or dm. Thank you. P.S kodipandalata sankranti time lo jarigevi. If anyone can give me contacts so I can witness it and interview some people, that'll be helpful
