Rangam Oracle Ritual at Ujjaini Mahankali Temple

The Rangam is a sacred prophecy ritual unique to the Bonalu festival. Held the morning after the main Lal Darwaza Bonalu, a woman devotee enters a divine trance as a medium for Goddess Mahankali and delivers predictions for the coming year. Thousands gather at Ujjaini Mahankali Temple in Secunderabad to witness this deeply religious and culturally theatrical event.
