The Vennelagadda Chapter hosted a grand celebration of Bathukamma, the floral festival of Telangana, at the Vennelagadda ground last Saturday evening.

The event showcased the rich culture and heritage of the Telangana community, as hundreds of women and families thronged the venue and sang and danced around the beautifully-arranged flowers in praise of Goddess Gauri. The songs narrated the stories of Goddess Gauri and her husband Lord Shiva, and the dances reflected the festive spirit and energy of the women.
