Hyderabad, July 23 (Hydnow): Telangana Governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan offered traditional Bonam and took part in the Ashadamasam Bonalu celebrations at the Raj Bhavan temple, here, on Saturday.
Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan, carrying the traditional bonam on her head, came in a procession joined by the Raj Bhavan pariwar members from her official residence to the temple. The Governor offered Bonam to the presiding deity Nalla Pochamma Thalli at the Raj Bhavan temple and performed puja.
The Raj Bhavan wore a festive look, while the Telangana Bonalu folk songs rented the air inside the sprawling Raj Bhavan complex. “Due to the divine blessings of Goddess Mahankali, the Covid-19 pandemic was largely contained.
All the people returned to their normal lives, and this year, people are coming to the temples fearlessly to celebrate this Bonalu festival. I prayed for the prosperity and development of our nation and Telangana State and the wellbeing of all the people,” she said and greeted all the employees and their family members on the occasion.

Chhatriwali Movie Review: Rakul Preet Singh’s film is informative but lags in bits
I could never wrap my head around Bollywood’s obsession with continuously addressing condom as a chhatri or an umbrella. Not only it’s cringe to hear repeatedly but also, it somewhere defeats the whole purpose with which films around these subjects are made. Moreover, picking a taboo subject and making a film on it can turn out to be quite risky if you don’t stick to the agenda and beat around the bush. Thankfully, Rakul Preet Singh’s Chhatriwali, directed by Tejas Prabhaa Vijay Deoskar, doesn’t digress much, and follows a crisp screenplay. There are some flaws here and there, but with all the humour and lighter moments, they can be somewhat overlooked.
