The city of Hyderabad is currently celebrating Navaratri and Bathukamma with great enthusiasm. The whole city is filled with the festivities of Dasara, with numerous Durga pandals set up in various streets. In the evenings, devotees visit these beautifully decorated pandals to seek blessings from the deities and enjoy the delicious food offered by the organizers.
As night falls, the districts across the state come alive with women dressed in vibrant silks singing Bathukamma songs in the lanes and bylanes. At the same time, young boys and girls dressed in traditional attire head to different locations to participate in Dandiya/Garba dance events, which are immensely popular and provide great entertainment for both participants and spectators.
Shoppers are keeping busy by visiting brightly lit stores that sell electronics, clothing, shoes, and automobiles, hoping to take advantage of the freebies offered. They spend time browsing through a wide range of products before making their final choices. Areas like Abids, Basheerbagh, Rashtrapathi Road, Dilshuknagar, Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, Koti, Nampally, Karkhana, AS Rao Nagar, and more are witnessing a flurry of business activity.
