Saddula Bathukamma Festival @ Srilekha!

 

బతుకమ్మ పండుగ @ శ్రీలేఖ!

Bathukamma Festival @ Srilekha!

(Bathukamma is Goddess Maha Gauri/Parvati Devi, the patron Goddess of women)

Today, 22nd October 2023 is the festival of Saddula Bathukamma. Bathukamma translates to "Mother Goddess come alive" and it is in the form of a floral extravaganza as you see in the attached pictures. Flowers of various colours are expertly arranged in circular rows, one layer on top of the other, on a plate. We then offer prayers to Bathukamma, seek blessings, and the ladies of the house rejoice by clapping and going around Bathukamma in circles, singing very meaningful Bathukamma songs. Finally, we bid farewell to Bathukamma by leaving her in a water body.  






Happy Bathukamma Festival! – Videos from not so long!
