Bathukamma (Telugu: బతుకమ్మ) is Telangana's floral festival celebrated by the Hindu women of Telangana.

The men folk of the house go into the wild plains and gather local flowers called Gunuka, Tangedi, Lotus, Alli, Katla, Teku flowers which bloom in this season in various vibrant colours all across the uncultivated and barren lands. Women prepare Bathukamma with the flowers leaving a little length base, some dip in colours, some scented and arrange them on a wide plate or wooden plank and stack them up in a conical mound and decorate them with a Pumpkin flower on top of Stack.
