Hyderabad: The Bathukamma celebrations were held grandly at Telangana Bhavan on Friday. Including Shoba, the wife of Telangana Chief Minister KCR, and Padma Devender Reddy, the deputy speaker of the Telangana state assembly, many other women participated in the fete.
It is evident that Bathukamma is a ten day festival that begins on the closed moon day of the Telugu Bhadrapada month, which is far and wide celebrated in Telangana state. This festival just falls before the festival of Dushera or Dasara. Significantly, this festival begins soon after the ending of monsoons.
During this festival, Goddess Gauri is worshipped by the name Bathukamma. The wordBathukamma in the local Telugu language literally means "Mother Goddess, Come Alive!" This is the festival of colours and the flowers. The flowers are arranged in a conical pattern that signifies the mother goddess and is called the Bathukamma.
