A warm, modern page for Sankranti — with a simple 3‑day Pongal guide (Bhogi → Surya Pongal → Kanuma/Mattu), regional traditions, foods, and Marathi quotes ready to copy & share.
Tip: Use search in Quotes section — try तिळगुळ पतंग सूर्य.
A symbolic “turn” toward brighter days — people welcome light, warmth, and renewal.
Thankfulness for crops, rain, and the many hands (and animals) that make harvest possible.
Kites, sweets, rangoli/kolam, visits to temples, family meals, and friendly get‑togethers.
Note: The day‑by‑day summary below follows the core outline from the older “3 days of Sankranti and Pongal celebration” page you provided.
A simple plan for the three days: what it means + what families typically do.
Traditionally a day of cleaning and clearing out old items — symbolically making space for a fresh season. Many families also pray for rain and wellbeing.
The main celebration day — families thank the Sun (Surya) for helping the harvest. Special food is cooked and offered with prayers.
A day to thank cattle for their role in farming. People bathe and decorate cattle, adorn horns, and celebrate with village/community activities.
Many families mark Makar Sankranti as a one‑day festival with temple visits, prasad, special foods (like khichdi), and kite flying.
If you want, I can add a “1‑Day North Plan” card list too.
A few common add‑ons (great for making the page feel “complete”).
Communities gather on terraces/grounds with kites, music, snacks, and friendly competition.
Share sesame & jaggery sweets and greet with “तिळगुळ घ्या, गोड गोड बोला”.
Bright patterns at the entrance—welcoming guests, prosperity, and good luck.
In some regions around this time, bonfires, songs, and sharing peanuts/rewri add extra warmth.
Donation of grains, clothes, or food is common—share warmth with someone in need.
Create a mini plan: call elders, visit neighbors, share sweets, and take a family photo.
Quick, relevant items you can mention (no recipes needed—just names + why they matter).
Add a line about using eco‑friendly decorations and avoiding unsafe kite strings to keep the celebration kind to birds and people.
Search, copy, and share. (Tap “Copy” on any card.)
