MAKARA SANKRANTI
WISH YOU ALL HAPPY MAKARA SANKRANTI
Makar Sankranti is celebrated as per the Hindu calendar month of Magha. This festival is celebrated for innumerable reasons depending on various climate, agricultural environment, cultural background and location.
The festival is celebrated for four days.
On, the first day, Bhogi, the old clothes and materials are thrown away and fired, marking the beginning of a new life.
The second day, the Pongal day, is celebrated by boiling fresh milk early in the morning and allowing it to boil over the vessel - a tradition that is the literal translation for Pongal. People also prepare savouries and sweets, visit each other's homes, and exchange greetings.
The third day, Mattu Pongal, is meant to offer thanks to the cows and buffaloes, as they are used to plough the lands.
On the last day, Kanum Pongal, people go out to picnic.
"HAPPY SANKRANTI "
