Warangal witnessed a spectacular celebration on Sunday as women gathered at Hanumakonda Fort to celebrate the floral festival, Saddula Bathukamma. This festival has been a tradition for the past several decades in Hanumakonda. The festivities included women forming circles, clapping, and singing while moving around the Bathukamma, a stack of seven concentric layers in a conical mound. They also exchanged special dishes like curd rice, tamarind rice, lemon rice, coconut rice, and sesame rice. Actress Poonam Kaur and former Warangal mayor Errabelli Swarna also participated in the festivities.
