Original Note:
This is a festival held in the village of Kairuppala and does not occur elsewhere in India. The "dung" being flung are cow dung cakes (not for consumption). These are prepared a month in advance (thoroughly dried) and used in remote places to light a hearth for cooking. https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2022/Apr/04/cow-dung-fight-donkey-parade-mark-ugadi-in-andhras-kurnool-2437673.html
