Telangana

Bathukamma turns flowers into temporary floral stacks made and immersed by women over nine days — a festival that is craft and ritual and community gathering all at once, unique to Telangana even among its Telugu-speaking neighbours.

Pochampally's ikat weaving and Cheriyal's scroll painting, once used by travelling storytellers to narrate epics panel by panel, both still operate out of the villages that gave them their names.
