"PONGAL FROM TOMMORROW FOR 4 DAYZ"
Hey guys u all must be aware of the harvest festival SANKRANTI, PONGAL will be celebrated this month. All south indians, including gujarat, maharashtra, celebrate this festival in a grand way since it's related to harvest season.
When is Pongal?
Pongal is celebrated on January 14 every year. The date of Pongal remains same as it is reckoned according to the solar calendar that is more accurate than the lunar calendar. For Hindus the date of Pongal is extremely auspicious as it marks the sun's entry into Makaram Rashi or the Tropic of Capricorn from the Tropic of Cancer. On this day sun begins its journey northwards (Uttarayan) for a period of six months as opposed to southwards (Dakshinayan) movement. It is this fascinating and auspicious astronomical event that is celebrated as Pongal in South India and Makar Sankranti in North and Central India
There is a big kite(spelling) festival in gujarat too from 12 to 14th
LET US WISH EVERYBODY HAPPY SANKRANTI AND CELEBRATE FROM TOMMORROW FOR 4 DAYS
