CM Revanth Reddy Offers Silk Robes to Goddess Mahankali at Grand Secunderabad Bonalu Celebrations
Hyderabad, July 13, 2025: Chief Minister Revanth Reddy offered silk clothes to Goddess Mahankali at the Ujjaini Mahankali Temple in Secunderabad as part of the vibrant and devotional Lashkar Bonalu festivities on Sunday. The traditional ceremony, marking one of Telangana’s most celebrated festivals, was conducted with religious fervor and cultural grandeur.
The Chief Minister was welcomed with a Poorna Kumbha by MP Anil Kumar Yadav, MLA Danam Nagender, and senior officials. Revanth Reddy then led the state’s formal offering of silk robes (Pattu Vasthralu) to the Goddess on behalf of the Telangana government and participated in special pujas alongside ministers Ponnam Prabhakar and Konda Surekha.
Cultural Spectacle Lights Up Secunderabad
Thousands of devotees thronged the temple premises early in the morning to offer Bonam (rice cooked with milk and jaggery) to Goddess Mahankali. The festive atmosphere was enhanced by traditional dances, processions, and cultural performances by Pothurajus, Kolatam troupes, Gussadi dancers, Pulivesham artists, and Dappu drummers, creating a visual spectacle that echoed through the streets of Secunderabad.
Well-Organized Devotee Arrangements
To manage the heavy influx of devotees, special queue lines and crowd-control measures were implemented by the temple authorities. Volunteers and officials worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth darshan experience for all visitors. The premises remained filled with devotional chants, music, and the clamor of festive enthusiasm.
A Deep-Rooted Tradition
Lashkar Bonalu is one of the key highlights of the month-long Bonalu festival, a state festival of Telangana that honors the Goddess Mahankali. It symbolizes the people’s offering of thanks and protection from disease and misfortune, and is celebrated with colorful rituals, Bonam offerings, and community processions across Hyderabad and Secunderabad.
This year’s celebrations reflect the Congress-led state government’s commitment to preserving Telangana’s cultural heritage. CM Revanth Reddy’s participation adds to the significance of the event, reinforcing the spiritual bond between the people and their traditions.
