Rangam Warns Against Use of Drugs · deccanchronicle.com

In Hyderabad, a big festival called Bonalu just finished.

Bonalu is a celebration where people honour a goddess with songs, dances and special ceremonies.

On Monday evening, the festival ended with a special event called the Rangam.

A woman named Rangam Anuradha spoke to the crowd during this event.

She told young people not to use drugs or drinks that can make them act badly.

She asked everyone to live a good and honest life.

She also told parents to watch over their children and not give them too much freedom.

After her talk, an elephant walked through the old part of the city carrying a special pot.

At the end, the pot was placed in the water at a temple, and that meant the festival was over.
