- Sankranthi, or Sankranti, is a festival that signifies the beginning of the harvest season for the farmers of Indian Sub-Continent. This is a harvest festival celebrated not only all over India but other South East Asian Countries as well. Makara Sankranti has special geo-agri-economical significance to people of Indian Sub-Continent. Makara Sankaranti is about transition of Sun into Capricorn on its celestial path. This is significant considering the Winter Solstice marks the beginning of the gradual increase of the duration of the day. Traditionally, this has been one of many harvest days. The day on which the sun begins its journey northwards is referred to as Makara Sankranti. Sankramana means "to commence movement". Hence, the name Makara Sankranti is given to one of the largest, most auspicious, but varied festivals in the Indian subcontinent. It usually falls in the middle of January. Because of the geography and size of India, this festival is celebrated for innumerable reasons depending on the climate, agricultural environment, cultural background and location.
- Sankranthi (Sankranti, Makara Sankranthi) är en festival som markerar början på skörden för bönder i de indiska delstaterna Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka och Maharashtra. Från denna dag rör sig solen mot norr och indikerar därigenom sommarens ankomst. I legenden väntade siaren Bheeshmacharya i Mahabharata på denna dag för att dö och uppstiga till Brahmaloka. Sankranthidagen firas även i Tamil Nadu, där under namnet Pongal. Typiskt för Andhra Pradesh är att festivalen firas i dagarna tre. Dagen före Makara Sankranthi kallas där Bhogi. På denna dag i gryningen samlas gamla oanvändbara saker i hushållet ihop och kastas på ett bål. Under denna festival ska människor bära nya kläder och besöka templen för att fira skörden. Festivalens tredje dag kallas Kanuma.
