It was a color riot, such as Potharajus smeared Haldi, Shiva Sathulu who looked fierce, making zits and thousands on thousands of people attacking the Tanggini Temple of Mangana in Secunderabad on Sunday.
All the way to the temple on the road to Rp.
Wear a similar carnival view.
It was Bonalu’s time, and the celebration was OK, more because all the celebrations were called last year due to tight locking in 2020.
But what was worrying, was the fact that all the caution was thrown into the wind, like a crowd.
Go about their business as usual, as in a good old pre-covid period.
There is no temperature check, there is no social distance, anyway, no mask! As a large procession of women wearing rice pads offerings, jaggery, curd and neem leaves in the pot decorated above their heads to make the road to the temple, Potharajus highly appreciated showing off their movements and cleaning the way for their Oracle.
Witnessed worried about the sidelines, someone couldn’t help but wondered what he predicted this year.
That happiness heon and reckless joy caused by Bonalu will be short-lived? That we might witness a careless one to deliver the third ‘coronalu’ fight? Well, it turns out, this nervous mind is a curse of a little pragmatic.
The worshipers rose high on adrenaline and happy hormones, supported by good duck doses: “We are all fully vaccinated.
What’s the problem? We are not afraid of the virus anymore,” said K Venkat who was very confident, a resident of Bazar General who attended the celebration with the whole His family.

A senior Temple official said, “Because people missed a celebration last year, there was a feeling of eager to be part of it this time.
However, the number of worshipers was lower due to Covid-19 pandemic.
Usually, swelling 3-5 lakh visits every temple Year to offer Bonam.
This year, we witnessed only about 1.5 lakh visitors.
“Small mercies! But is it enough to ward off a new outbreak? Only time will tell.
