Summary

English: Bathukamma is a traditional observance by the people of Telangana, mainly the women folk, that celebrates the cultural spirit of the Telugu people of the state. Bathukamma means a stacked arrangement of flowers, in seven concentric layers in the shape of a temple gopuram. In Telugu, ‘Bathukamma’ means ‘Mother Goddess come Alive’ and Goddess Maha Gauri also known as the ‘Life Giver’ is worshipped in the form of Bathukamma.For nine days, young girls and other female folk gather in their respective localities with their Bathukammas, form a circle and sing songs and dance revolving around the bathukamma in the centre. Women seek the blessings of the Goddess for the well-being and prosperity of their families through the songs that are sung.
