Bathukamma festival will be celebrated today

The Bathukamma festival is one of the most unique festivals of Telangana will be celebrated today. Celebrated mainly by the women of this region during Navarathri it honours the `life-giver Bathukamma, with women seeking her blessings for prosperity and a good year.
Colours, 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 colours as well as impermanence. For, the goddess is `created each year, and immersed duly on the 8th day called 'ashtami' of the festival in local water bodies. This time the festival is being celebrated with great favour.
