Bathukamma means "Mother Goddess come alive". It’s a vibrant floral festival celebrated mostly by women in Telangana during the Navratri season.
Women create flower stacks with seasonal blooms like marigold, chrysanthemum, and gunuka, arranged in beautiful layers.
These flower arrangements are placed on a wide plate and worshipped with songs and prayers.
women wear traditional sarees, gather in circles, and sing folk songs around the Bathukamma.
The rhythmic clapping, dancing, and singing celebrate nature, womanhood, and community spirit.
On the final day, the Bathukammas are immersed in local ponds or rivers with joy and devotion.
It’s not just a festival—it’s a symbol of Telangana’s cultural pride and sisterhood.
