This festival is celebrated for nine days during Durga Navratri in Telangana.
‘Bathuku’means the life and Amma means the Mother. On a whole, it is a festival to worship the ‘Life Giver’, the universal energy - Goddess Shakti.
Celebrations:
Bathukamma is made up of seven concentric layers of flowers that are arranged in a pyramid shape. The arrangement signifies the mother goddess.
As it is a festival of women, they dance around it singing Bathukamma Paatalu (i.e. songs praising Bathukamma).
The Goddess is worshipped for the nine days and on the tenth day of the celebration, the goddess is immersed in the local waters after performing the rituals.
