Happy greetings to all for the harvest festival Sankranthi
Sankranthi is one of the big festivals celebrated in most parts of India with different names. This festival mainly celebrated as the harvest festival. This is the time where the farmers reap the fruits of their hard work in the form of yield from their crops. In Telugu states, Sankranthi is celebrated on three days-13th Bhogi (Pongal), 14th Makara Sankranthi, and 15th Kanuma. On Kanuma farmers do pooja to their domestic cattle. In Punjab, the same festival celebrated as Lohri, in as Assam Bihu, in Bihar, Jharkhand, UP, Chattisghad as Chhat. Hope this festival of Sankranthi gives more joy to farmers and give more inspiration to do well in the coming farming year.
