the Akkanna Madanna temple in the Old City is an example of Hyderabad’s ‘Ganga Jamuna Tehzeeb’ as well as the brotherhood, though belonging to a different religion. The Bonalu is widely celebrated across the state in harmony so are the rest of the festivals. But this historic Akkanna Madanna Temple’s Bonalu celebrations are incomplete unless the temple committee makes an offering at a small dargah which is located in front this temple.(Pics. Murli)
