Lashkar sways to Bonalu beats

The two-day Bonalu festivities - known as ‘Lashkar Bonalu’ - began at Sri Ujjaini Mahankali temple in Secunderabad on Sunday after Nizamabad MP K Kavitha offered a 3.8-kg golden bonam to the Goddess. This followed a spectacle of 1,108 women devotees wearing similar saris and carrying bonams to the goddess.
