Bathukamma is a vibrant festival celebrated predominantly in Telangana, marking the end of the monsoon season. It is dedicated to the worship of the goddess Gauri, symbolizing the female spirit of nature. The festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm, and this year, our college organized a special event to honour and promote this cultural tradition.
The venue was adorned with colorful flowers, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Students showcased their creativity by arranging Bathukamma stacks made of seasonal flowers, reflecting the festival’s spirit.
The highlight of the event was the communal celebration of Bathukamma. Students and faculty members gathered to participate in the traditional ritual, singing songs and dancing around the Bathukamma. This created a sense of unity and joy among everyone present.
After the traditional Bathukamma celebrations, the excitement continued with a lively Dandiya in the morning. The festive energy reached new heights as students and faculty gathered once again, this time dressed in vibrant Dandiya outfits, to participate in the traditional Gujarati folk dance. The rhythmic beats of the music and the sound of clashing dandiya sticks filled the air, creating an atmosphere of pure joy and celebration.
