Bonalu festival factors in Covid norms

Hyderabad; July 7 ( PMI ): Devotees in the Old City can offer Bonam during the fortnight from July 18 to August 1 this year following a decision taken by the Lal Darwaza Simhavahini Mahankali temple committee to celebrate the festival maintaining physical distancing and avoiding crowding at the temple. The committee members wanted the womenfolk to offer Bonum anytime during the fortnight instead of on Sundays only. This year, the temple committee will be celebrating the 113th Bonalu Utsavalu.

Though the annual Brahmotsavam would be starting from July 23, the devotees can offer Bonum from July 18 onwards following Covid protocols. The temple committee will provide masks and also provide sanitizers, said temple committee Chairman K Venkatesh.
