sankranthi

Of all the festivals for the Telugu community Sankranthi is the most significant one.

This festival has emerged from the soiled efforts of the farmer and from the riches of the harvest.

During the excellent early hours as the snow / fog spreads over the greenery with tiny droplets on the leaves we have the month of Dhanu and the last three days of this month is celebrated as Sankranthi. All through this month to signify the festival the houses are decorated with color designs in front of them.

Of this the first day is Bhogi. In the early morning on this day fire is put in front of the house and in the evening the children in the house are showered with fruits and coins by all the elderly ladies who live in their vicinity and share their joy with those ladies.

Sankranthi the second day is an auspicious day when the sun starts travelling on this day towards north and all spend their time in a very happy way as we can perform all auspicious events for the coming six months and also for its significance adore their wealth.

The last day is Kanuma which signifies the festival of farmers. On this day the farmers wash the cattle and decorate them flower garlands and colors and also put in ornaments and offer pongal.

This festival brings out the culture of the villages with their friendly helpful nature.
