The Minister stated that offering silk robes at Sri Akkanna Madanna Temple was a rare privilege and a moment of spiritual fulfillment. The temple stands as a symbol of Hyderabad’s historical depth, spiritual significance, and cultural vibrancy.

With the blessings of the Goddess and under the leadership of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Telangana is striving to emerge as a national role model – especially in the fields of Information Technology and industrial development.

A statement issued here said bonalu was not merely a festival. It symbolizes Telangana’s unique way of life, centuries-old traditions, cultural richness, collective spirit, resilience, unity, self-respect, and historical pride.

The celebration of bonalu reflects the essence of Telangana’s soil, the divine love of the goddess, and the inner strength of its people. It resonates through the drum beats, devotional offerings, and widespread community participation.

“The divine mother is regarded as the source of all creation and protector of all universes. Her blessings are invoked for the well-being, happiness, and prosperity of all citizens of Telangana,” the statement added.

The bonalu celebrations at Golconda, Secunderabad, and Lal Darwaza were powerful expressions of Telangana’s folk traditions and were a cultural message to the nation and the world. The State government has allocated Rs.20 crore for the grand conduct of bonalu festivities across twin cities. Financial support was extended to 2,783 temples in the form of direct cheques.

This allocation reflects the people-first governance model led by the Chief Minister and highlights the priority given to cultural preservation and heritage promotion.
