"Sankranti" celebrations started

(Gearing up for a Cock-Fighting...?)

January month is somewhat special with three-day bound festival of Sankranti.Telugu people would celebrate it as a harvest festival with no trace of exact commencement,however which has become a part of Telugu people.The festival is definitely of some hundreds of years history as it had been noted down in the annals of local epics.First day is Bhogi,second day is Sankranti and third day is Kanuma.All three days are considered as important with each of its prominence.On Bhogi day,having showers with plum fruits to be observed.Cock fighting is age old phenomena in the Sankranti celebrations.Kanuma is concerned with the cattle.Anyway,we can't expect the grand scale fervor like older days in the rural side.

But certainly the festival has its own charm and draws the people back to villages from their working places.On these seasonal days,bus companies do roaring business and extra trains are also served to meet the demand.Everybody who keeps working in the cities for their livelihood would start to reach their own places to celebrate the festivities along with their kith and kin.Making delicious puddings like Ariselu and Jantikalu is commonly seen.Visiting temples with  new cloths is also a must thing.And there are many things to say.
