In the penultimate festivities to mark Bonalu, large crowds thronged the famous Mahankali temple at Lal Darwaza on Sunday to offer prayers marked by traditional rituals with vessels containing cooked food.
Women attired in their best queued up in front of the temple with Bonams on their heads as an offering to the Goddess since morning. The month-long celebrations concluded with the second round of offering at the temple on Golconda Fort where they started.
There were separate queues for women carrying Bonams and regular queues for general public. Large gatherings were also seen at Sri Akkanna Madanna Mahankali temple at Haribowli and other Mahankali temples in the southern and eastern parts of the city.
