Flowers to the Mother Earth - A story of Batukamma festival.

A BLOOMING TALE OF TRADITION, FAMILY, AND MOTHER EARTH

Every autumn, the women of Telangana gather flowers, sing songs, and build a beautiful Bathukamma — a vibrant tower of blossoms offered to the Earth with love.

In this heartwarming story, young Radha visits her grandmother’s village for the Bathukamma festival. As she helps collect flowers, listens to folk songs, and learns the meaning behind each ritual, Radha discovers more than tradition — she discovers belonging, joy, and her roots.

Written and illustrated by Sindhu Aytla, this story brings to life a cherished cultural celebration through simple storytelling, vivid illustrations, and the warmth of home.
