According to TV9 Telugu, the Bonalu festival, a significant cultural event in the Indian state of Telangana, is currently being celebrated with widespread participation from the public. The festival, which honors the goddess Mahakali, has seen various figures from the film and political sectors join in the traditional rituals.
