🌸🌿 Bathukamma, the floral festival of Telangana

Celebrated during Navratri, it honours the `life-giver’ Bathukamma.

In Telugu, ‘Bathukamma’ means ‘Mother Goddess Come Alive’ & Goddess
Maha Gauri -‘Life Giver’ is worshipped in the form of Bathukamma

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

Women make small ‘Bathukammas’, form circles around them and sing folk songs every evening & immerse them in a nearby water pond.

आदौ राम तपोवनादि गमनं, हत्वा मृगं कांचनम्।
वैदीहीहरणं जटायुमरणं, सुग्रीवसंभाषणम्।।
बालीनिर्दलनं समुद्रतरणं, लंकापुरीदाहनम्।
पश्चाद् रावण कुम्भकर्ण हननम्, एतद्धि रामायणम्।।

शुभ विजयादशमी 🙏
मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम राजा रामचंद्र जी की जय
