GLTC Bathukamma and Dussehra Sambaralu 2017

The BATHUKAMMA festival is one of the most unique festivals of Telangana State. One celebrated mainly by the women of this State. Celebrated during Navarathri it honors the 'life-giver' Bathukamma, with women seeking her blessings for prosperity and a good year. Colors, flowers and water are all intrinsic to the festival; and the goddess herself is not one rooted in a shrine but made of flowers that signify both life and eternity in their colors as well as impermanence. For, the goddess is 'created' each year, and immersed duly on the 10th day of the festival in local water bodies. Please join us to celebrate the festival.
