| Makar Shankranti: Monday,
January 14 |
| Makar Sankranti is one of
the most auspicious day for the Hindus, and is celebrated in
almost all parts of the country in myriad cultural forms,
with great devotion, fervor & gaiety. Lakhs (1 lakh =
100,000) of people take a dip in places like Ganga Sagar &
Prayag and pray to Lord Sun. It is celebrated with pomp in
southern parts of the country as Pongal, and in Punjab is
celebrated as Lohri & Maghi. Gujarati's not only look
reverentially up to the sun, but also offer thousands of
their colorful oblations in the form of beautiful kites all
over the skyline. They may be trying to reach up to their
glorious God or bring about greater proximity with the one
who represents the best. It is a day for which Bhishma
Pitamah kept waiting to leave his mortal coil.. |

| Pongal: Monday, January
14 |
| Thai Pongal (Tamil:
தை பொங்கல்) is a
harvest festival equivalent to a
thanksgiving event celebrated by
Tamils across the world. Pongal in Tamil means
"boiling over or spill over." The act of boiling over of
milk in a clay pot is considered to denote future properity
for the family. Traditionally celebrated at
harvest time, it is a
celebration of the prosperity associated with the
harvest by thanking the rain, sun and the farm animals that
have helped in the harvest. Pongal is celebrated by the
Indian state of
Tamil Nadu as well as
Tamils worldwide, including those in
Sri Lanka,
Malaysia,
Mauritius,
South Africa,
USA,
Canada and
Singapore. The festival is at least 1000 years old
although some believe that the festival is more than 2000
years old. As per
epigraphic evidence, it used to be celebrated as
Puthiyeedu during
Medieval Chola
empire days. It is thought that Puthiyeedu meant
the first harvest of the year.
