The Legend behind the Origin of Bathukamma

Leave a Comment / Founder's Pen

06/10/2024, SUNDAY

Vemulavada, the capital of the Chalukyas of Vemulavada, who ruled from 750 to 973 AD.It is situated about 35 kilometers to the west of Karimnagar. Vemulavada preserves an excellent temple of ninth century known as Bheemeshvara temple. This is said to have been constructed probably by VemulavadaChalukya king Baddega (850 – 895 AD) and called Baddegesvaralaya. This is the most important temple showing forceful architectural style in which the religious ideals were amply demonstrated. With the above historical facts, it can be assumed that the idea behind the gift of Rajadhi Raja Chola to his father, Rajendra Chola. I might have been rooted in the gift of Brihadeswara (Siva Linga) to Raja Raja Chola by his son Rajendra Chola who brought it from Vemulavada.

Shifting of Siva Linga from Vemulavada to Tanjavur by Rajendra Chola cannot be considered as a misdeed because the Dravidian predecessor, Ravansura used to carry the Siva Linga with him whenever he was on tours, in order to have undisturbed daily poojas to Lord Siva. Shifting the Siva Linga (Bruhadeshwara) from Vemulavada to Thanjavur and erecting a huge temple to Brihadeswara, is a great achievement to Cholas; whereas this incident provoked protests in a large scale throughout the then Telangana. They must have felt that great injustice is being done to Bruhathamma (Parvathi), so the women of Telangana might have taken this agony personally and created a Bathukamma protest by having processions that included singing of songs on Bathukamma. Those protests have today become a part of the culture of Telangana women. It can be noted that as time passed, the Bruhatamma transformed to Brakhukamma, and finally the Bathukamma of present day. She has been considered as a replica of Sahakthi (Srusti).

The Shifting of the popular Siva god of Vemmulavada, from the Telangana region by Rajendra Chola to Thanjavur, caused protests against the Chola kings. Taking the cause of Bruhatamma (Parvathi) left over in Vemmulavada in grief, Telangana women took processions taking Bruhathamma (variety of flowers arranged in a conical shape) followed by singing different songs in memory of Bruhath Linga. This took in to a final festival form celebrated for nine days prior to Dussehra (Vijaya Dashmi) in the month of Ashvijamaasam. The celebration of Bathukamma is the outcome of the movement against the crime of Chola ruler over Telangana in a nonviolent form. This type of nonviolent form of satyagraha against tyrant rulers may be first of its kind in India, and the credit goes to Bathukkamma.

Legends of Cultural and Religious Resistance

The Bathukamma legend may be the first of its kind but not unique in Indian history.

Several cultural traditions have emerged from similar acts of resistance against foreign or oppressive rulers. For instance, the Durga Puja in Bengal is not just a religious festival but also a symbol of the people’s defiance against foreign invasions and domination.

Likewise, the folk tales of Rajasthan’s brave women who performed “jauhar” in defiance of invading armies resonate with themes of sacrifice and cultural pride.

Sammakka Sarakka Jatara in Telangana is one of the largest tribal festivals in India, and it is a celebration of tribal pride, resistance, and reverence for the sacrifices of their goddesses. It symbolizes unity among the tribal communities and is a reminder of their historical struggle for freedom and justice.

Whereas Bathukamma festival focuses on life, renewal, and gratitude towards nature, it is a joyful festival of flowers, music, and dance, representing man’s harmony with the environment the Sammakka Sarakka Jatara represents bravery, sacrifice, and resistance against injustice.

It’s a deeply spiritual and historical festival, where people seek blessings from their goddesses for courage and protection.

The Bathukamma Festival: Origin, Importance, and Scientific Value

Leave a Comment / Founder's Pen

29/09/2024, SUNDAY

Bathukamma is a significant festival celebrated in the state of Telangana, especially by women. The name “Bathukamma” is derived from two words: “Bathuku” meaning life and “Amma” referring to the Mother Goddess. This festival is a celebration of life, invoking the blessings of Goddess Gauri, who is seen as a symbol of fertility, strength, and prosperity.

The origin of the Bathukamma festival can be traced back to ancient times. It is said that this festival emerged as a tribute to the agrarian way of life in Telangana, where people relied heavily on agriculture and nature for sustenance. According to one legend, the festival was initiated by a Chola dynasty princess who survived a deadly illness and, out of gratitude, worshipped the Mother Goddess. Bathukamma is also believed to honor Goddess Gauri for protecting crops and ensuring a bountiful harvest after the monsoon season. The festival coincides with the end of the monsoon and the beginning of the sowing season, highlighting its connection to agricultural practices.

Bathukamma is celebrated with great enthusiasm for nine days, starting from the day of Mahalaya Amavasya and ending on Durgashtami. Each day holds a specific significance, with women preparing a beautiful stack of flowers called “Bathukamma” in a conical shape. This arrangement consists of local flowers like marigolds, chrysanthemums, lilies, and hibiscus, all of which have bright colors and a pleasant fragrance.

The festival is a symbol of womanhood, strength, and the nurturing spirit. During Bathukamma, women dress in colorful sarees, gather in groups, and sing folk songs while dancing around the Bathukamma arrangement. This is a time of togetherness, and the songs narrate tales of love, joy, and devotion. The dancing around Bathukamma represents unity and the circle of life.

On the final day, known as Saddula Bathukamma, the flower stacks are taken in a grand procession to local water bodies, such as rivers, lakes, or ponds, and are gently placed in the water as a mark of respect to nature. This immersion signifies the return of the flowers to their natural environment, symbolizing the cyclical relationship between human life and nature.

Bathukamma is not only a religious festival but also a community event. It strengthens social bonds and encourages people to work together. For many women, Bathukamma is a celebration of their identity, and it provides an opportunity to express their cultural pride.

The Bathukamma festival has a scientific basis, especially in terms of its environmental and health benefits. One of the most striking aspects of Bathukamma is the use of flowers, which are carefully chosen for their medicinal properties. Flowers like marigolds, chrysanthemums, and lotuses, which are commonly used in Bathukamma, have natural qualities that contribute to health and environmental protection.

For example, marigold flowers have antibacterial and antiviral properties. When these flowers are immersed in water, they act as natural purifiers, helping to cleanse water bodies of harmful bacteria. Similarly, other flowers used during Bathukamma, such as hibiscus and chrysanthemums, have anti-inflammatory properties and can promote healing.

            Bathukamma is celebrated during the seasonal transition from monsoon to winter, a time when many people become prone to illnesses. The flowers used in the festival are known to boost immunity and improve overall health. The immersion of these flowers in water not only contributes to personal well-being but also helps in maintaining the ecological balance of water bodies by supporting aquatic life.

            Another important aspect of Bathukamma is its connection to sustainable practices. The festival promotes the use of biodegradable materials and encourages people to avoid harmful substances like plastics. The flowers and leaves used in Bathukamma naturally decompose and enrich the soil, making the festival an eco-friendly celebration that promotes environmental awareness.

The Bathukamma festival is a profound example of how cultural traditions can harmonize with nature and science. Its origins lie in the agrarian lifestyle of Telangana, and its significance goes beyond religious devotion, as it highlights the role of women, family, and community in sustaining life. The scientific value of the festival adds another layer of meaning, as it teaches respect for the environment and the importance of health.

Through its celebration of nature, womanhood, and community, Bathukamma fosters a sense of unity and purpose among the people of Telangana. It is not just a festival but a reflection of the symbiotic relationship between humans and the natural world, reminding us all of the importance of preserving both our cultural and ecological heritage.

Conversation on Water conservation

Leave a Comment / Education, Greenwood Talks

26/09/2024, THU

Water conservation is crucial for sustaining life, yet we often waste water in various ways. Common examples include leaving taps running while brushing teeth, overwatering plants, taking long showers, and ignoring leaking taps or pipes. If we don’t address these habits, we could face serious consequences such as water scarcity, agricultural failure, and environmental degradation.

To save water, simple measures like fixing leaks, turning off taps when not in use, using water-efficient fixtures, and recycling greywater can make a big difference. If we fail to conserve water, we risk higher water costs, health issues, and the depletion of natural resources, leading to an unsustainable future.

In a world that is constantly evolving, knowing where we come from helps us navigate where we are headed.

Local history gives people a sense of identity. Knowing the stories of our local heroes, traditional festivals, and customs shapes who we are as individuals and as a community. It allows us to take pride in our shared heritage. When we know the significant events that took place in our towns and cities, we realize that we are part of something much larger than ourselves. This collective identity builds unity, helping us celebrate our uniqueness while recognizing our common values.

For example, local festivals or monuments often hold deep historical significance. Celebrating them keeps traditions alive, while reminding us of the efforts of those who came before us. When we learn about the landmarks or historical figures in our town, we feel connected to our land in a deeper way. This bond makes communities stronger, as we are united by shared stories and experiences.

The knowledge of local history acts as a bridge between generations. Elders in a community are often the keepers of history, passing down stories and traditions to younger generations. These shared stories serve as an important link, allowing younger people to appreciate the struggles and successes of their ancestors.

Through this exchange, younger generations learn respect and gratitude for the past, while older generations feel proud that their heritage is being preserved. This mutual exchange strengthens community ties and ensures that cultural practices are not forgotten.

Every region has its own unique culture, shaped by its history. By understanding local history, we also uphold the culture that has developed over time. Cultural practices, rituals, festivals, and even local cuisine are often rooted in historical events. Knowing the history behind them not only makes them more meaningful but also ensures that they are passed on to future generations.

            When people lose touch with their local history, they risk losing important aspects of their culture. Over time, modern influences can dilute traditional values, but the knowledge of local history keeps those values intact. It encourages the preservation of local languages, art forms, and folk traditions, enriching the cultural diversity of a community.

Learning local history brings people together. It creates a shared narrative that binds different members of a community, regardless of age, social status, or background. When people share an understanding of their history, they are more likely to work together for the betterment of their community.

            Whether it’s the commemoration of important events, the celebration of local heroes, or the preservation of old buildings, the shared knowledge of history fosters collective pride and responsibility. This unity is essential for the community’s growth and progress, as people come together to honour their past and protect their future.

So, the knowledge of local history is crucial in bonding people and preserving culture. It gives us a sense of belonging, builds bridges between generations, and ensures that traditions and values are passed down. By understanding and appreciating the past, we can work together to build a stronger, more united community for the future. Local history is not just about the past – it is a powerful tool that shapes our present and guides our future.

07/09/ to 16/09/2024

Greenwood High School, Hasanparthy, Hanumakonda, celebrated Vinayaka Chavithi with great Eco-Conscious Spirit and Cultural Devotion on 7th September 2024. The event, following the school’s annual tradition, was characterized by the creation of an Eco-friendly Ganesha idol, a vibrant procession, rituals, cultural performances, a nine-night bhajana program, and an environmentally conscious immersion of the idol.

The Significance of Vinayaka Chavithi: Honoring Lord Ganesha in India

Vinayaka Chavithi, also known as Ganesh Chaturthi, is one of the most important festivals in India, celebrated to honor Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings. Traditionally, the festival begins with the installation of Ganesha idols in homes and public places, followed by prayers, devotional songs, and rituals. It holds immense cultural and spiritual significance as people pray for success, peace, and well-being.

Eco-Friendly Ganesha Idol Creation

To promote environmental awareness, our school organized a workshop where students and staff collaborated to create an Eco-friendly clay idol of Lord Ganesha. Under the guidance of Art and Craft Teacher, Ms. Banaja Sahoo, our students crafted the idol using natural clay and organic colors, ensuring the materials were free from harmful chemicals. This initiative aimed to reduce pollution and encourage sustainable celebrations, which became a key theme throughout the event.

The Grand Procession and Ganesh Puja

On 7th September 2024, the celebration began with a grand procession, with the Ganesha idol being carried from the school’s main gate to the Mandapam. The atmosphere was filled with the rhythmic chants of “Ganapathi Bappa Moriya” as students, teachers, and staff members participated with joy. Saffron headbands and traditional music added to the vibrant energy.

Later in the evening, the sacred Ganesh Puja was performed, invoking Lord Ganesha’s blessings for academic success, wisdom, and character-building. The priest led the rituals, including homa, yajna, and puja, followed by cultural performances like singing, dancing, and scriptural recitations.

Nine Nights of Spiritual Unity through Bhajanas

A special nine-night bhajana program was organized, where students and staff gathered every evening to sing devotional songs. Led by Mr. Jampala Ramesh, Head of the Telugu Department, the bhajanas created a spiritual atmosphere and encouraged cultural learning. Mr. Ramesh also engaged students in sloka chanting and quizzes on mythological stories, enhancing their knowledge and spiritual understanding.

Agni Homa: A Sacred Offering Before Ganesha’s Farewell

As part of the nine-day Vinayaka Chavithi celebrations at Greenwood High School, a special Agni Homa was organized one day before the immersion of the Eco-friendly Ganesha idol. Venkateshwarlu Guruji conducted the ritual, using natural ingredients like ghee, rice, herbs, and wood from various medicinal plants to offer into the sacred fire. The Agni Homa, an ancient Vedic ritual, is believed to purify the environment, promote spiritual well-being, and invoke divine blessings for peace and prosperity. By performing this powerful ritual, the school emphasized the importance of maintaining harmony between nature and spirituality, ensuring that the event concluded with a deep sense of devotion and gratitude.

Eco-Conscious Idol Immersion

On 16th September 2024, the Eco-friendly Ganesha idol was immersed in the Hasanparthy pond. The school’s dedication to protecting the environment was reflected in the careful planning of this co-conscious immersion. A specially decorated vehicle carried the idol in a final, emotional procession. The idol, crafted from natural materials, dissolved harmlessly in the water, ensuring the festival’s religious customs were upheld while protecting the environment.

Leadership and Guidance

The success of the celebration was greatly attributed to the active guidance of our school management. The Honourable Director, Sri. Dr.G. Bharadwaja Naidu, along with General Manager Sri A. Prabhu Kumar, Academic Principal Sri. VVV Naveen Kumar, Administrative Principal Sri. T. Pavan Kumar, Vice Principal Sri. V. Suresh Kumar and ACO Smt. P. Kanthi provided constant support and supervision, ensuring a grand success for the entire event.

A Heartfelt Appreciation

Sri. Dr. G. Bharadwaja Naidu extended special appreciation to the Art and Craft Department for their hard work in creating the Ganesha idol and the beautifully designed backdrop. Special recognition was given to Ms. Banaja Sahoo and Mr. G. Santosh Rao for their dedication. The efforts of all teachers and students who contributed to the celebration were acknowledged and appreciated for making the event a memorable success.

A Festival of Devotion and Eco-Consciousness

The Vinayaka Chavithi celebration at Greenwood High School was not only a spiritually enriching experience but also an opportunity to impart lessons of Eco-consciousness and cultural values to students. The event successfully combined devotion, creativity, and environmental responsibility, leaving a lasting impression on all who participated.
