Every village in Telangana is becoming beautiful with colorful flowers. Bathukamma celebrations have started all over Telangana from today. Telangana women are ready to celebrate the state festival ‘Bathukamma’.
In the villages of Telangana, married women come to the birth house and name Bathukamma. If the men go to the fields to pile the bathukamma and bring many other types of flowers such as tangedu, hibiscus, marigold, sitajada, lotus and many other flowers, the women use them to pile the bathukamma. An offering is made to Bathukamma every day. The nine-day offerings include corn, sorghum, sajja, millet, gram, pesal, palli, sesame, wheat, rice, jaggery, and milk. Bathukamma is known by a different name each day.
The first day is called Angilipula Bathukamma. This devoutly celebrated festival begins with the Angilipula Bathukamma on ‘Petramasa’ every year. Do you know why it is called Petthara Amavasya? Flowers are usually cut by hand or scissors. But, some also sneeze orally to make bathukamma. Thus Bathukamma performed on the first day came to be known as Engilipula Bathukamma. Telangana declared it as a state festival and gave a big boost to the festival. From them it is gradually gaining popularity among travelers from outside the state. Bathukamma is named after colorful flowers in the hands of women dressed in traditional clothes.
The second day is Atukula Bathukamma, the third day is called Muddappu Bathukamma, the fourth day is called Nana Rice Bathukamma, the fifth day is Atla Rice Bathukamma, the sixth day is Aligina Bathukamma, the seventh day is Neem Bathukamma, the eighth day is Vennamuddala Bathukamma, and the ninth day is called Bathukamma.
