Bonalu is the Ashadha-masa thanksgiving to Mahankali in Hyderabad and Secunderabad: women carry the bonam (a decorated pot of rice cooked with milk and jaggery) on their heads to the goddess, with pothuraju leading the procession and the rangam oracle the next morning. The Sundays of Ashadha are taken in turn by Golconda, Ujjaini Mahankali (Secunderabad), Lal Darwaza (Old City) and other temples. The Telangana government declares a public holiday on one of these days each year.
