Answer 1

As the state of Telangana is taking birth, its festivals will also start getting prominence. Awareness about them is being created outside the districts. This year I witnessed Bathukamma at Tank Bund in Hyderabad. Incidentally, it was coupled with a display of strong Telangana identity and was lead by the daughter of a prominent Telangana leader.

It was a riot of celebration with many tribal dancers performing their traditional dance forms. Big and small mounds of flowers
dominated the scene and everything else happened around it. The biggest mound was on top of a tempo that towered over the crowds and the smallest ones were on steel plates. Most of the mounds were made with fresh flowers and easily available marigold dominating. But there were those made of paper flowers as well.

Women are the shining stars of Bathukamma festival. Dressed in their bright silk saris and wearing all their fineries with fresh flowers in their hair, they carried the Bathukamma on their heads. They would keep her anywhere around another bunch of Bathukammas and join the circle of women dancing around it. The dance was simple, three claps and move in the circle along with traditional songs that typically talk about the everyday situations women face at home. A friend explained a song that is sung by a woman when her brother visits her. Seeking permission from everyone in her in-laws family to visit her parents. They dance around and then leave the Bathukamma in a nearby waterbody.

Lambada women with their colorful dresses and heavy silver jewelry stood out. They were favorites with the photographers. Another dancer with exquisite makeup ran through the crowd. Stopping only to pose for the pictures and to hand over her card that told that she (or was it a He) was a dancer in Telugu. The only English

For the nine days, in the evening, women, especially young girls, gather in large numbers with their Bathukammas in open areas of their locality. All women will form a circle around the Bathukamma and start singing folk songs by clapping their hands and revolving around the Bathukamma, synchronizing steps and claps in unison provide a splendorous look to the festivities. Women seek good health, prosperity and happiness for their families. The songs are to invoke the blessings of various goddesses. By principle, the rendition end with any one of the following three tributes Uyyaala - ఉయ్యాల, Chandamama - చందమామ or Gouramma.
