Bonalu Festival is an annual Hindu festival celebrated in the Indian state of Telangana. It is dedicated to the goddess Mahakali and is celebrated with great fervor and enthusiasm. The festival typically falls in the month of Ashada (July-August) each year.

During Bonalu, women prepare special offerings for the goddess such as rice cooked with jaggery, milk, and other sweets. These offerings are then carried in colorful clay pots to the local temples for puja. The festival is marked by vibrant processions, music, dance, and other cultural performances.

The highlight of the Bonalu Festival is the Rangam, where women and men dressed in traditional attire carry the decorated pots on their heads in a procession. The festival is a time for communities to come together, celebrate their culture, and seek blessings for prosperity and well-being.
