🎉 Celebrating Bonalu: A Vibrant Tribute to Goddess Mahakali in Telangana

The historic steps of Golconda Fort are once again adorned as Hyderabad and Secunderabad come alive with the annual Bonalu festival, a spectacular celebration of devotion, culture, and community.

Bonalu is an important Hindu festival honoring Goddess Mahakali, typically observed in the Ashada Masam (July-August). Women carry beautifully decorated pots (Bonam) as offerings, seeking blessings for prosperity and protection. The festivities start at Golconda Fort and proceed to various temples, including the renowned Yellamma Temple in Balkampet.

This vibrant tradition not only strengthens social bonds but also showcases Telangana’s rich cultural heritage — a reminder of how festivals sustain our collective identity.
