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.
