as farmers bring home the harvest....each part of India celebrates this moment as Sankaranthi...Pongal.......Bulls were used for cultivation from primitive ages....ithey r honored on this day.........its a welcome sight in every Andhra village during Sankranti is the decorated bull, clothed in multi-colored attire moving from one house to the other led by its master who plays nadaswaram
The feats of the Gangireddu (bull) is indeed pleasing. It can dance rhythmically, nod in acceptance, deny in negation, kneel down and prostrate, bow down and even stretch its tongue to show it can sing
Taken from a paddy field in kuttanadu, kerala.
Once this paddy fields were a typical feature of kerala. It was so much connected with the social,political and cultural life of people there. Their main art forms or rituals are some way or other connected with the harvest season. The paddy cultivation plays a major role in socio-cultural life of rural India. Many festivals such as Onam in Kerala, Bihu in Assam, Sankranthi in Andhra Pradesh Thai Pongal In Tamil Nadu, Makara Sankranthi in Karnataka, Nabanna in West Bengal celebrates harvest of Paddy.
This year the Pongal festival was much better than the former, where the covid and some personal losses had kept away the festival mood or spirit to celebrate. This year the arrival of my nephews - one from the cousin sister and another from sis-in-law - turned the festival much special. I hope those who follow the Pongal or Sankranthi celebrated well.
Morning trek to Shivagange, Karnataka, India
Shivagange is a mountain peak with a height of 804 metres (2,638 ft) and Hindu pilgrimage center located near Dobbaspet, in Bengaluru Rural district India. It is 25 km (16 mi) from the town of Tumakuru and 54 km (34 mi) from Bengaluru. The sacred mountain is shaped as a shivalinga and a spring flows near locally called "Ganga", thereby giving the place its name. It is also known as Dakshina Kashi (Kashi of the South) and has various temples such as Gangadhareshwara temple, Sri Honnammadevi Temple, Olakal Teertha, Nandi Statue, Patalagang Sharadambe temple and several theerthas such as Agasthya theertha, Kanva theertha, Kapila theertha, Pathala Gange
Sri Honnammadevi Temple is inside the cave. Sri Gavi Gangadhare Temple is also inside the cave. Gavi means Cave, Gangadhareshwara means Parameshwara having Gange on the top. Every January, on the day of Sankranthi festival, the marriage function of Sri Gangadhareshwara and Sri Honnammadevi (Parvathi) is conducted. At that time it is claimed Ganga holy water comes from the rock at the top of hill and that holy water is used to solemnise the dhare ritual of the marriage function.

The Charminar, built in 1591 CE, is a monument and mosque located in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. The landmark has become a global icon of Hyderabad, listed among the most recognized structures of India.
The English name is a transliteration and combination of the Urdu words Chār and Minar, translating to "Four Towers"; the eponymous towers are ornate minarets attached and supported by four grand arches.
Here the series of photographs show the bond between the Charminar, shops in four lanes and the people who always make the four roads busy round the clock.
In its heyday, the Charminar market had some 15,000 shops. Today the famous markets known as Laad Baazar and Pather Gatti, near the Charminar, are a favour, of tourists and locals alike for jewelry, especially known for exquisite bangles and pearls respectively.
The Traditional Food, like Biryani, Haleem, Mirchi ka salan, Double Ka Meetha etc. is available around Charminar. The area is also famous for its variety of shops. During the season of Sankranthi, the area is completely crowded with vendors selling kites.
We can find any shops from Jewelry to Iron, Flower to Fruits, Ginger tea to Coffee Day.
The road width will be approximately 100ft but it shrunk to 30ft because of the road side shops. Come here on the festival time…you feel the real heat…
Enjoy Hyderabad and enjoy the streets…as a street photographer I love this place, I had been here manytimes but I am not tired. Eagerly waiting for the next trip.
I am trying to bring the feel of the Charminar street, please do comment your feel…
என் மனமார்ந்த பொங்கல் நல்வாழ்த்துக்கள் - HAPPY PONGAL
Thai Pongal is a harvest festival event celebrated by Tamils across the world. Although it started as a farmers festival, today it has become a national festival for all Tamils irrespective of their origins, caste or even religion. Pongal coincides with the festival Makara Sankranthi celebrated in various other parts of India.
Pongal in Tamil means "boiling over or spill over." The act of boiling over of milk in the clay pot is considered to denote future wishes for the family.
Traditionally celebrated at harvest time, it's a celebration of the prosperity associated with the harvest by thanking the sun god, rain and the farm animals that have helped in the harvest.
This festival originated in Tamil Nadu. The saying "Thai Pirandhal Vazhi Pirakkum" (தை பிறந்தால் வழி பிறக்கும்) meaning "the birth of the month of Thai will pave the way for new opportunities" is often quoted regarding the Pongal festival.
The festival is at least 1000 years old although some believe that the festival is more than 2000 years old.

India has the largest paddy output in the world and is also the fourth largest exporter of rice in the world. Paddy fields are a common sight throughout India, be they be northern gangetic plains or southern peninsular plateaus. Paddy is cultivated at least twice a year in most parts of India, the two seasons being known as Rabi and Kharif respectively. The former cultivation is dependent on irrigation, while the latter depends on Monsoon. The paddy cultivation plays a major role in socio-cultural life of rural India. Many festivals such as Onam in Kerala, Bihu in Assam, Sankranthi in Andhra Pradesh Thai Pongal In Tamil Nadu, Makara Sankranthi in Karnataka, Nabanna in West Bengal celebrates harvest of Paddy. Andhra Pradesh is historically known as the "Rice Bowl of India", while Thanjavur is historically known as the "Granary of South India" and the Rice bowl of Tamil Nadu. Nanchinadu was known as the rice bowl of the former Kingdom of Travancore. In Kerala there is a place (which spreads into three districts) called Kuttanadu, which is famous for paddy cultivation. Kuttanadu is called the rice bowl of Kerala.
