Bathukamma Celebrations 2019



Our colony is blessed to have such nice Ladies and Individuals how are completely dedicated their precious time to Maa Durga. They were busy playing and performing Maa Durga's traditional Batukamma folk dances.

Bathukamma is a festival that is celebrated for nine days during Navratri. It starts on Mahalaya Amavasya and ends on Ashwayuja Ashtami (also called 'Pedha/Sadhula Bathukamma'). ‘Bathukamma' in Telugu, is to ask the 'goddess to come alive'.

Preparing a Bathukamma is a folk art. Women start preparing Bathukamma from the afternoon. They cut the flowers leaving the little length base and arrange them on a wide plate called Thambalam, and stack them up in a conical mound, decorated with a Lotus or Pumpkin Flower on top of the stack along with Gouramma (a symbolic idol of Gowri made of turmeric).

Our Colony Women are celebrating the Bathukamma festival with great zeal and enthusiasm on the occasion of this sacred evening. They sing many folk songs and revolve around the Bathukamma.
