People often fall sick during the Monsoon season, to get rid of those diseases and for good health, people offer prayers to goddesses and present bonalu. Lakhs of people will attend bonalu jatara. Bonala Jatara will be successful with the coordination of all departments. We have made all the arrangements. The government has provided financial assistance for the celebrations. Devotees should also cooperate with all and offer their own bonalu.”
