Andhra Pradesh Festivals

Festivals in Andhra Pradesh are an important aspect of the state's culture and are celebrated with grandeur like other regions of India.

Hindu festivals such as Dusshera, Deepavali, Sri Ram Navami, Krishna Janmashtami, Vinayaka Chavithi or Ganesh Chaturthi, Sankranthi, Maha Shivratri and Ugadi are celebrated in the State.

Similarly, Muslim festivals such as Bakrid and Id-ul-Fitr and Christian festivals like Christmas, Easter and New Year's Day are also celebrated with pomp.

Bathkamma is special to the Telangana region. In the month long festival, Goddess Bathkamma's idol is worshipped and is made to float on the rivers and lakes.

Tourist festivals include the Visaka Utsav (from the third Friday to Sunday of January), Deccan Festival (on the 25th of February) of which the Pearls and Bangles Fair is a part, Rayalaseema Food and Dance Festival (in October, at Tirupati) and Lumbini Festival ( from the second Friday to Sunday of December, at Nagarjunasagar and Hyderabad).

So take a festival tour of Andhra Pradesh all year round and enjoy the sights and sounds.
