Last year: Bathukamma 2026 – Saturday 10 October 2026
Bathukamma is Telangana's flower festival: for nine evenings women stack seasonal flowers (tangedu, gunugu, banti, chamanti) into the conical bathukamma, sing and circle it, and float it in the tank. It begins on Mahalaya Amavasya (Pethara Amavasya) with Engili Pula Bathukamma and ends on the ashtami evening, usually Durgashtami, with Saddula Bathukamma, the biggest evening, which is a Telangana public holiday. Each day has its own name and naivedyam (food offering), listed in the table below; on the sixth day, Aligina Bathukamma, there is no play and no offering.

Some calendars (prokerala.com) show Bathukamma 2027 as 30 September – 8 October. The dates here follow the rule used for every year: Engili Pula Bathukamma on Mahalaya Amavasya, which is 29 September 2027 (the amavasya covers that afternoon and evening; prokerala's own panchangam also marks Mahalaya Amavasya on 29 September), and Saddula Bathukamma on the ashtami evening, Durgashtami, 7 October 2027 (8 October is Maha Navami). The Telangana government's 2027 holiday list is not out yet.
Durgashtami 2027: Thursday 7 October 2027.
Tithi timing
Bahula Amavasya begins 29 September 2027 at 10:55 AM IST and ends 30 September 2027 at 8:06 AM IST.
How the date is decided
Telangana: starts on Mahalaya Amavasya (amavasya in the afternoon) with Engili Pula Bathukamma and runs nine evenings to Saddula Bathukamma on the ashtami evening, usually Durgashtami.
Date by city
Different date in 29 of 215 cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, San Jose, Fremont, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Pleasanton, Sacramento, Folsom, Irvine, San Diego and 17 more — the tithi is judged against each city's own sunrise and local time (daylight saving included), so the day can shift for cities far from India.
