1. INTRODUCTION Ethnicity of a person is related more with his racial affinities while culture of a particular people is a shared set of beliefs, morals, values that are reflective of way of life. Culture is passed down from a generation to another and serves as a sense of identification. It is reflected in the art of a particular group of people. ANDHRA PRADESH CULTURE The rich and varied culture of Andhra Pradesh can be perceived from its melodious music, scintillating dances, delectable cuisine, ingenious arts &crafts, glorious religions and wonderful people. In the earlier times, the state was ruled by several dynasties and empires, which influenced its cultural heritage. Eventually, Andhra Pradesh culture became rich and creative with the touch of diverse civilizations.

In the world of creativity, Andhra Pradesh has procured a high position with its work of art. The state is undoubtedly a prized gem in the crown of the Indian glory. The ethnicity of the state is also visible from the different communities and religions followed by them. The relishing dishes of Andhra cuisine boast of the 'Nawabi' style of the royalty.

1.1 CULTURE IS THE ART OF LIVING The history of origin of the people of Andhra dates back to the pre-Christian era. They are supposed to be the Aryans who migrated to the state of Andhra Pradesh far beyond from the Vindhyas. There are recorded history of them in the Aithareya Brahmana and the Mauryan period. The Salivahanas of the Satavahana dynasty were one among the earliest dynasty to rule over the Telugus.

1.2 ORIGIN AND ETHNICITY The major portion of the Telugu areas was brought under the control of the notable rulers, Kakatiyas during the 13th century AD. It was during the rule of the Kakatiyas that the area was in its zenith of the various culture like literature, temple art and the fine arts. However after the decline of the Kakatiyas in the 14th century, the Vijayanagar Empire ruled the state till the 16th century. There was a rapid development in agriculture, commerce and arts which reached to the peak during the reign of the Vijayanagar dynasty. The Vijayanagar dynasty was taken over by the Golconda kings, who succeeded in building a strong HinduMuslim unity and in fact the Telugus reached their pinnacle in all fields during this period. Though they were the Muslim Kings they still patronized the culture of the Telugu-speaking people and gave them

distinguished position in their courts. Andhra Pradesh which has its roots from the oldest of South Indian civilizations is considered to have a high ethnic value divided into various categories as per religious priorities and geographical location. There are lots of communities of the Telugu people residing peacefully for years thus proving high ethnic value of Andhra Pradesh. The state of the Telugu people is the fifth largest populated region of India with dynamic Ethnic groups. Though people from all over India live in this place, the rural area is primarily ruled by the tribes of the Telugu origin. Some of the tribal communities of the telugu people are Gadabas, Koyas, Kolamis, Bhagatas, Khonds, Savaras, Nayakpods,Kondadoras, Valmikis, Jatayus, Chenchus, Yanadis, Balasanta and Davaluru.The Telugu governing bodies are very careful in maintaining a harmonius condition in the state thus avoiding external elements of disruption from not entering even the borders of the state.

1.3 CULTURE The Telugu people with a sparkling social structure are a blend of resonant conglomeration of culture and traditions. Having ruled by great Dynasties of the past the people and the state exhibit a mix of rich Nizami tradition and royal heritage. The cultural heritage of the country is contributed a lot by the state and the Telugu people. Being under the rule of various dynasties like the Chalukyas and the Mughals, the culture of the state is beautifully controlled and shaped. The Telugu people are very much influenced by the culture of their roots giving a creative touch of varied civilizations. Its rich culture is discernible in its mellow music, dazzling dances, crispy cuisine, aboriginal arts & and crafts, pious people, religions, and fairs and festivals. The culture has become inseparable from its people for it is adhered by the Telugu people living even in different parts of the country and the world.

1.4 SOCIAL CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS Muggulu is one of the most common tradition followed by the Telugu people where a threshold design is done at the entrance of the house with white rice powder. But now rice powder is slowly getting replaced by lime stone powder and on special occasion’s colored powder is added and then it is called as rangoli. There is a traditional belief of the Telugu people that the kolam keeps away evil from the house. Ugadi is the Telugu New Year and on this day people mix cow dung with water and sprinkle it on the ground in front of their houses and many other customs and rituals are carried out on this day. Also many new ventures are started on this day.

1.5 ART:

Annamayya, Tyagaraja, Kuchipudi summarize the rich artistic traditions of Andhra Pradesh. Contributions of Annamacharya and Tyagaraja to the "grammar of sound" made Telugu language the preferred language of composition for Carnatic Music and made Andhra Pradesh the mother of all modern music. Their influence not only on Carnatic but global classical music and the organisation of sound as a medium of emotional resonance has no parallel in human history. Kuchipudi as a refinement of the ancient Tamil art of Bharathanatyam, and in the context of the unique religious and cultural traditions of Andhra Pradesh stands on par with all the great global traditions of Classical Dance.

1.6 ARCHITECTURE:

There are three distinct and rich architectural traditions in Andhra Pradesh. The first traces back to the building of the legendary city of Amaravathi under Satavahanas. This unique style of architecture emphasizes the use of intricate and abstract sculpture with inspiration from religious themes. The second tradition draws on the enormous granite and lime stone reserves of the region and is reflected in the various temples and forts built over a very long period of time. The Temples and the ruins of Warangal stand as examples to this tradition.

10 | P a g e

1.7 LITERATURE:

As a recognized ancient language, Telugu has a rich and deep literary culture. Nannaya, Tikkana, Yerrapragada, Srinatha, Pothana, Molla (poet), and Tarikonda Venkamamba made Telugu language "The Italian of the East" - lingua franca for religious, musical composition and philosophy. The contributions of Charles Phillip Brown,Vemana, Gurram Jashuva, Sri Sri (writer) and Viswanatha Satyanarayana made Telugu a vibrant and evolving modern language. The contributions of various Telugu/Tamil/Sanskrit grammarians to the formalization of English Grammar gave Telugu Literary traditions a truly global reach.

1.8 CUISINE:

Andhra Pradesh culinary traditions are some of the richest in the world. Bandhar Laddu, Avakaya, Gongura, Pulusu, pappu charu, jonna kudu, bobbattu, kaza, arisa Etc. draw on unique spices and rich fruit and vegetable harvests of the region. Various sauces and ancient bread making techniques that use a very diverse and rich variety of pulses are a testament to ancient Telugu culinary innovation. It is rumored that Roman king Nero lamented Romans paying more to the Chili farmers of Andhra Pradesh than to Roman treasury as taxes during the effort to rebuild Rome after the great fire. It is documented that he banned all imports from Andhra Pradesh during Rome rebuilding era. Andhra Pradesh spice traders and their ancient global trading traditions are considered the precursors to modern option-and-derivatives pricing models for commodities. Rich wine making traditions are evident in the Taati kallu and Etha Kallu produced by the region to this day.

11 | P a g e

1.9 CLOTHING/FASHION:

Andhra Pradesh is home to some of the finest historical cloth making/fashion and dying traditions of the world. Its rich cotton production, with its innovative plant dye extraction history stand next to its diamond mining, pearl harvesting and jewelry traditions to form an impressive fashion tradition that has stood the test of time. The ancient Golconda mine is the mother of the numerous legendary gems such as the Koh-i-Noor and Hope Diamond. Andhra Pradesh had a virtual monopoly in the global jewelry industry till 1826 (founding of the diamond mines in Rhodisia - Africa) and eight of the 10 most valuable jewelry pieces on earth today trace their history back to Andhra Pradesh. Langa-Voni (Half saree), Sarees made in Kalamkari, Bidri, Nirmal paintings, fascinating weaves from Pochampalli, Gadwal, Venkatagiri are the result of this time tested (3000 year) fashion tradition. Vaddaanam, Aravanke, Kashulahaaram, Buttalu and various standard gold jewelry designs are fine examples of this continuously evolving ancient tradition.

12 | P a g e

1.10 RELIGIOIN AND PHILOSOPHY:

These contributions can be classified into four distinct eras. Ancient Hindu traditions of Andhra Pradesh, Medieval Buddhist traditions, Modern Islamic-Hindu fusion traditions and the currently emerging HinduChristian fusion traditions. Dharanikota, Nagarjuna Konda monasteries and the associated literary contributions stand as a testaments to Andhra Pradesh's central role in the evolution of Ashokan Buddhism. Tirupati, the associated religious traditions of Lord Venkateswara as a personification of the merger of various Shivite and Vaishavite Hindu traditions stands as a testament to the rich and progressive religious-philosophical schools of Andhra Pradesh. The contributions of Andhra Religious traditions to Bhakti Movement (Fusion movement for Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist Traditions) inspired numerous world-renowned modern secular philosophers like Jiddu Krishnamurti to draw on this rich and progressive intellectual tradition of religion and philosophy. A living history of this rich tradition is daily visible in the lives of the people of this region and historic snap shots are frozen into stone at various times on the walls of the temples. Telugu arts and literature are an embodiment of this vibrant philosophical tradition.

5. CONCLUSION Traditional crafts, visual arts and other forms of traditional cultural expression are closely related to the identity, heritage and socio-cultural well-being of indigenous and local Communities. Tradition referring to cultural expression generally were first created a long time Ago, which have been transmitted from generation to generation and are regarded as pertaining to a particular people or its territory. Craft as such are a source

of tradition which has been passed on from one generation to the other. It is our duty to continue this generation of craft, a skill to be preserved and promote. This Project will try to achieve this continuation of generation. It will space a space for craft as well as craft people to house different craft in a single community. It will continue the culture of craft and inspire people to be indigenous. Modernization has crept into scene but it is also true, that forgetting our tradition and culture is like losing our identity. Both should go hand in hand - preserve and develop. Ethnic Village is a modern achievement but the elements provided are traditional and based on culture and society.

As for the conclusion of this report, the traditional Indian culture should not be forgotten by every generation as it shows the identity of the Indian people. Efforts should be made to promote, sustain and make the world admire Indian culture .This project will surely have a impact on such issues.
