The annual Sammakka-Saralamma Jatara has become a significant source of livelihood for unemployed youth from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh, with roadside stalls and vending shops spreading across the small village and its surrounding areas.

The bus station and temple altars through Jampanna Vagu showed heavy foot traffic because of the food courts and eateries and slaughter shops and toy stalls. The current number of stalls exceeds previous years of the jatara according to observed data.

A food court operated by T Durga Rao, a young businessman from Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, provided work for six residents during a two month period. He reported that business performance did not meet his expectations because customer traffic patterns to his establishment showed irregular patterns.

T Kranthi Kumar from Kazipet operates a slaughter shop that encounters severe competition which results in business losses but he expects to improve his results during the upcoming jatara days.

The event provided vendors with a chance to attract pilgrims which they succeeded at but many vendors faced difficulties because of strong competition which showed both chances and obstacles that young people faced who depended on the event for work.

The Sammakka-Saralamma Jatara maintains its status as a vital cultural and economic celebration that brings thousands of visitors to worship while providing temporary job opportunities for local youth.
