“Bonalu 2024 has come to a close, and we’re grateful to have been part of this legacy. Representing the final procession in Hyderabad’s Old city Bonalu is an honor and our makeup costs anywhere between Rs 40,000 – Rs 70,000 for each individual.
A team of 50 dedicated individuals work tirelessly to prepare us. The process is lengthy and challenging, but crucial to our dedication to a successful final procession. Over time, we’ve refined our appearance in the Bonalu Procession, embodying Mahakali’s power and protection with grace and precision.
Our role is vital, bringing the goddess’s spirit and blessings to the people. The joy in visitors’ eyes makes it all worthwhile.
We’re grateful for the trust placed in us and strive to honor Bonalu and Mahakali’s legacy with every performance. Thank you to the public and police officials for their support, enabling us to complete Bonalu 2024 with grand success. We look forward to continuing this legacy for years to come.”
