Bonalu - Rangam

Rangam – Oracle – is performed the day after Bonalu at the main temples.

During a seance, a spinster possessed by the goddess, stands on a wet clay pot holding a tanpura (a musical accompaniment) answers various questions posed by devotees.

This year (2000), Ms. Swarnalatha at Ujjaini Mahankali temple predicted good rains, coexisting of the people and expressed satisfaction that the goddess was pleased with the offerings of the devotees.

On the days of Bonalu, all vehicular traffic is managed to facilitate the movement of devotees through various temples.
