Until the radio, films, and more importantly the TV encroached upon their territory, the folk narrative and performing arts were the only source of collective entertainment and education for the villagers. There was also the leisure and willingness on the part of the villagers to patronize, appreciate and benefit from these arts. Most of these narrative art forms are traditionally practised by certain marginalized sub-caste groups who depend on the dominant communities for survival. Some of these important narrative communities are: Addamsingvallu, Veedhi Bhagavatulu, Budige Jangaalu, Chinduvallu, Dasarivallu, Ganjikootivallu, Gollasuddulavallu, Gondaleelu, Kakipadigelavallu, Koonapulivallu, Maladasarulu, Mandechulu, Matlevallu, Ogguvallu, Pichukakuntlu, Pondavulavallu, and Sharadagallu. Apart from these, there are also the non-caste specific teams such as batukamma teams, burrakatha teams, kolatam teams, and yakshganam teams. Depending on their traditional training the performance patterns and methods of presentation vary a great deal. Methods of presentation 1.Short narratives (meant for a single presentation, e.g. Ellamma katha, Mallanna katha). 2.Long narratives (presented over a period of 3 to 30 days, e.g. Katamaraju katha). 3.Narratives presented by means of pictures (e.g. Kakipadigela stories, Pandavulavalla stories).
