Happy Sankranthi


Best wishes to near and dear on this auspicious day. One of the major hindu and telugu festivals symbolizing harvesting season and beginning of Sun's ascendancy into northern hemipshere - we have a lot of memories of Sankranthi from our childhood. To remember a few - Bhogi mantalu on a foggy winter morning, new clothes, exotic sweets (arisalu), Sankranthi holidays for school, gaali patalu (kite flying), bommala koluvu perantalu, blessings with bhogi pandlu - hope the tradition survives!
