🌸 What is Bathukamma? 🌸
Bathukamma, meaning “Mother Goddess Come Alive,” is a festival deeply rooted in the agricultural lifestyle of Telangana. 🌾 Women gather with beautifully arranged flowers,
intricately layered in the shape of a pyramid. These floral arrangements are then worshipped and immersed in local water bodies.
The festival is dedicated to Goddess Gauri and symbolizes femininity, fertility, and spirituality. 🌷🌿
This festival not only connects people with nature but also strengthens the bonds of the community as women come together, sing folk songs 🎶, and dance around the flower arrangements.
It’s a celebration of life, color, and the spirit of women. 🙌🌻
🗓️ When Does Bathukamma Begin? 🗓️
Bathukamma is typically celebrated in the Telugu month of Ashwayuja, starting on the day of Mahalaya Amavasya. The starting day marks the beginning of
nine colorful days filled with joy, togetherness, and devotion. 💖
