Goddess Bathukamma is a revered deity in the Indian state of Telangana. She symbolizes the beauty and strength of womanhood and is celebrated during the festival of Bathukamma, which usually occurs in September or October. The festival lasts for nine days, during which women create colorful floral arrangements and offer them to the goddess.
The celebration involves singing traditional songs and dancing around the floral stacks, culminating in the immersion of the Bathukamma in local water bodies. This ritual not only honors the goddess but also promotes environmental awareness and community bonding among participants.
