The buffaloes are decorated with garlands of flowers, painted horns, and paraded through the streets, often accompanied by the crowd dancing to the sounds of [[teen maar]] Special Yadav Band (Da Daniki).<ref name=Hindu20101107/> The animals are sometimes encouraged to rear up on their hind legs.

Sadar was started by the late '''Sri Salandri Nyayam Chowdhary Mallaiah Yadav''' in '''1946''' at Naryanguda YMCA, Hyderabad. Even though over time Sadars have been organized in many other localities of Hyderabad by their respective Chowdhary, '''Narayanguda YMCA Sadar''' (near Reddy women's college) attracts largest crowd due to its history and popularity. Hence is called ''Pedha Sadar''. '''Narayanguda YMCA Sadar''' has been organized uninterruptedly annually starting 1946 till date by its founder '''late Sri Salandri Nyayam Chowdhary Mallaiah Yadav''' and later by his family members.<ref name="Eenadu 28-10-2019 Sadar" />

With this, the Carnival/Procession of Sadar starts and each family with their Dunnapothula (Male Buffalo) come with all fanfare.

== Festival Highlights ==
'''Buffalos''' are the main highlight of the parade, as the community is dependent on cattle for their livelihood. They take special care in breeding cattle which mainly consists of water buffalos and cows. Bulls are bred mainly for bigger height, weight and length of body. They are also considered better by amount of milk their female offsprings yield. Other details like looks, age, horn style, length of tail are considered. Hence Sadar becomes occasion to display these special bulls to rest of community.<ref>{{cite web |title=Buffalo Carnival |url=https://www.siasat.com/hyderabad-celebration-carnival-buffaloes-part-diwali-1709188/ |website=Siasat |publisher=Siasat news paper |accessdate=31 October 2019}}</ref>

Every family takes this opportunity to showcase their best male buffalo to the rest of the community in the parade.

=== Da-Dan-Ki beats ===
Another highlight of this festival is Yadavs play unique tune during the parade called ''Da-Dan-Ki'' tune. This tune is so unique and reserved for Yadavs that now it is being simply called as ''Yadav tune''. This music is also associated with special stepped dance that will be performed by Yadav men. In this dance, men form an circle holding hockey sticks in one hand and taking big steps back and forth and circling around at same time. This dance is also called 'pedha puli ata' which means tiger dance as it looks like men are imitating tiger's gait and moves. Likewise this dance is more commonly being called as ''Yadav dance''.
