Bathukamma, Festival of Flowers:
Bathukamma is a festival celebrated in the state of Telangana. Bathukamma means Festival of Life and is celebrated to thank Goddess Parvati for her blessings. This festival comes from a story in which the king and queen were eventually blessed with a daughter. She was called Bathukamma. Once she was insulted by a demon and could not handle it, so she died by jumping into the fire. The people of the kingdom remembered her loss by making a pile of flowers and singing and dancing around it for nine days during Navratri every year.
Bathukamma is a flower stack made up of unique seasonal flowers like marigold, chrysanthemum, katla, teku etc. When dispersed in water, it is believed to help purify the water bodies. Women and girls dress up traditionally and gather, form a circle around Bathukamma and celebrate by singing folk songs and dancing around the flower arrangement. Then the women carry the Bathukamma on their heads and move in a procession towards a water body. When they reach the water body, the Bathukamma is slowly immersed in the water.
