Bathukamma is a vibrant floral festival celebrated predominantly in the state of Telangana, India. It typically takes place during the nine nights leading up to Dussehra. The festival honors Goddess Bathukamma, symbolizing the feminine energy and the prosperity of the earth.

During Bathukamma, women create elaborate flower arrangements, known as Bathukamma, using seasonal flowers. These arrangements are then placed in water bodies while singing traditional songs. The festival is a celebration of nature, life, and womanhood, and it promotes communal harmony. It's a time for families to come together, and many cultural events and dances accompany the celebrations.
