Rajanna-Sircilla: Saddula Bathukamma was celebrated on a grand scale in Vemulawada temple town on Tuesday.
Though the festival is usually celebrated after nine days of the beginning of Petramasa (Sarva Pitru Mahalaya Amavasya) across the state, there is a tradition in Vemulawada to celebrate the event after seven days.
Municipal authorities made elaborate arrangements for the event held at Bathukamma theppa at Mulavagu. Women, who gathered in big numbers, played bathukamma by making rounds around systematically arranged bathukammas.
