Dear Friends, 

GCTA is delighted to invite you and your family to the event 'GREATER CINCINNATI BATHUKAMMA & DUSSEHRA CELEBRATIONS'.

GCTA feels proud to continue the celebration of Telangana official state festival with your encouragement and support. We would like to celebrate the event with unity on a grand scale to fill in the true festive spirit among all families. GCTA appreciates every participant and top bathukammas will be awarded based on standard selection criteria.

About Bathukamma:

Bathukamma is an embodiment of the spirit of Telangana. The festival has become an important part of the cultural renaissance movement of Telangana and has now been accorded the State Festival status in the newly formed state. Bathukamma is literally a celebration of life. It is a unique tribute to nature, which starts with colorful flowers and culminates in a water body. Bathukamma is a beautiful flower stack, arranged with different unique seasonal flowers most of them with medicinal values, in seven concentric layers in the shape of temple gopuram.  ‘Bathukamma' means ‘Mother Goddess come Alive’ and Goddess Maha Gauri - ‘Life Giver’ is worshiped in the form of Bathukamma – the patron goddess of womanhood, Maha Gauri Devi.
