Elaborate arrangements for Saddula Bathukamma

Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has made elaborate arrangements in Greater Hyderabad for Bathukamma festival. 

Apart from providing necessary facilities at temples, ponds, and grounds where the festival is celebrated, GHMC also made arrangements for the immersion by cleaning the ponds and filling them with water. 

As many as 23 immersion points were identified and lighting facilities have been provided at the immersion ponds. 

A 500 sqft pond was already built at Bathukamma Ghat. Large-sized screens were also installed for viewing of celebrations. 

A large Bathukamma idol was also placed at the Ghat. Sanitation workers have been appointed to clean the venues wherever Bathukamma is played. 

GHMC has also repaired the roads leading to Bathukamma points.
