Celebration of any festival in India, is not superstition or faith. There is a meaning behind every festival. Here I am analyzing the reason behind the celebration of Sankranti.
Makara Sankranti festival is generally celebrated in the middle of January and falls on 14th or 15th of January every year. On this day, people pray God, prepare Pongal and Ellu, which are offered to God. After that, Ellu, banana and sugarcane is distributed among relatives and friends. People greet each other with Ellu and message that after eating sweet, one should talk sweet words only. The cattle, especially the cow and the ox are bathed, decorated by painting their horns, tying color tapes, balloons and are worshipped. People also fly kites. It will be a feast to the eyes to see huge kites flying in the sky. Kite flying competitions and competition for the best cow and ox are also organized.
Don’t you think these are sufficient reasons to celebrate? This festival invokes the feelings of sharing, humanity, caring for each other and respecting the environment.
Any other reasons, view are welcome. We will be happy to hear from you.
