Bonalu celebrated with grandeur at Katta Maisamma Devasthanam

This story is about a big and happy festival called Bonalu in Hyderabad, India.

People celebrate it during a special month called Ashada.

Women came to a temple called Katta Maisamma Devasthanam carrying decorated pots as gifts for the goddess.

The pots had neem leaves and turmeric on them.

Many women came from nearby areas like Borabanda, Allapur, and Swaraj Nagar.

There was drumming and traditional singing, and everyone prayed for their families to be safe and well.

Two women named Sunitha and Prasanthi said the festival felt very special and peaceful.

A kind family, led by Juloori Raghu Raj Goud and his wife Juloori Sandhya Rani, takes care of the temple.

They have been doing this since the year 2000 and pay for everything themselves to help all visitors.
