A handle dedicated to Telugus & Telugu Heritage beyond Andhra, Telangana. From Kandy to Ganges, from the Ghats to the Eastern sea.
Yup. Also, the entire outer ring road. BTM, HSR, Agara, Kanneli, Kaadbisnahalli, Devrbisnahalli, Bellandur, Marathahalli, Doddnekkundi, Banasawadi, Rammurthy Nagara, Kalyan Nagar, Kacharkanahalli, RT Nagara, + Hoodi, Basampuramu (Basavanagar) + many adjacent places like Domlur, Ulsoor, the actual locals speak both Telugu (only speak) and Kannada (read, write, learn, wedding card prints etc). Farming was the only profession. Took care of the entire villages with food and other needs. Until the IT boom happened and things changed, in all aspects. We are always mistaken by "intra state" migrants with people who are "inter state" recent migrants, who actually run PGs in these areas.
Of course, Bengaluru (the jewel of Morasunadu/Karnataka) is as much Kannada as it is Telugu! Ask any OG Bangalorean, not someone who made Bangalore their home in the last 100 years but those who are originally from the villages and pettah's of Bengaluru. Home sweet home!
We don't just speak Telugu at home, if we meet anyone who understands it, we'll speak it with them.

Hit me with the craziest Bengaluru history facts you know.
Exactly, southern languages (Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam) are over 80% Sanskrit, the remaining is its derivative Prakrit. There is nothing much of a language left once you takeoff Sanskrit out of Kannada/Telugu/Malayalam. Malayalam is actually 90 Sanskrit- it was called necklace of gems arranged (Manipravalam) with Sanskrit. Anybody that believes these artificial colonialist theories is brainwashed.
Telugus, throughout most of their history, worshipped folk deities and Shiva. Most of the OG Telugu kingdoms (Telangana) revered Shaivism & folk deities. Vaishnavism, which spread through Brahmins (post 1200 CE), wiped out folk deities (esp in Andhra) and Shiva worship.
Two truths to be said- Krishna and Tungabhadra are lifeline of Karnataka. Kempegowda is only for Bengaluru not for whole Karnataka.
86th Melattur Bhagavata Mela Nataka Mahotasv From April 30 to May 8, 2026. At Sri Varadaraja Perumal Sannidhi, Melattur, Thanjavur. This divine Telugu art form is celebrated annually during Narasimha Jayanthi. #Telugu #Melattur #Kaveri delta
Parthiban trying super hard to act Telugu by speaking Telugu and he's being casteist and proudly proclaiming his Naidu heritage at a movie promo Funniest thing is Karthi, who is a Tamil guy, speaks better Telugu than Parthiban
@ViratVeer18 Dei loosu sangi, even sreeleela is tamil, does she speak fluent tamil?? She speaks fluent or better telugu, why erased Tamil culture there..
@ViratVeer18 I had a similar experience in Kanchi last summer. Varadaraja Perumal darsanam chesukoni ala veedhi lo nadusthunte oka Peddavida arugu meedha gorintaaku rubbuthondhi. Oorike aagi oka nimisham ala chusaanu. Vacchi kurchomani aavida saiga chesindhi. Tamilam lo adigindhi ee ooru ani
From the banks of the Ganges to the hills of Kandy, Telugu once echoed through kingdoms, trade, literature, and temples. A language that travelled beyond borders. Telugu, our pride. 💛 #తెలుగు #ఆంధ్రులు
