Apparently, it’s a tradition in Andhra Pradesh to host the son-in-law and throw a grand feast on the occasion of Pedda Panduga, also known as Makar Sankranti. As per a TOI report, this record has broken the earlier attempt of a family from Narsapuram in the undivided West Godavari district from last year, who served 365 different varieties of food items to their son-in-law on the Sankranti festival.

The couple identified as Kusum Rao and Buddha Muralidhar was surprised to see this spread and shared the video of the same on their social media, which went viral. In his post, Muralidhar wrote that “We had a very great West Godavari Vindu Bajanam for our first Sankranthi! In lunch, we had 379 items in total. He also shared the details of the royal feast in his post and disclosed that the menu consisted of 40 types of flavoured rice, 20 chutneys, 40 curries, 40 fries, 90 to 100 sweets, 70 hot items, juices, drinks and more. He also wrote that “We are very lucky and pleased to have such people around us!”

TOI reported that the spread was made by the parents Bheema Rao and Chandraleela started preparing for the feast 10 days ago and made all the dishes during this period. And Muralidhar tasted all the dishes and had a different taste.
