Hello, everyone! As we approach the vibrant festivals of Makara Sankranthi and Thai Pongal, it’s time to embrace the spirit of celebration and community! These festivals, celebrated with great enthusiasm in India, hold a special place in the hearts of the Indian diaspora around the world. In the USA and Canada, various events are lined up to bring people together, and Sulekha Events is here to help you find the perfect way to celebrate!
The
Significance of Makara Sankranthi and Thai Pongal
Makara Sankranthi, celebrated in mid-January, marks
the transition of the sun into the zodiac sign of Capricorn. It signifies the
end of winter and the beginning of the harvest season. Thai Pongal, celebrated
primarily in Tamil Nadu, is a harvest festival dedicated to the Sun God, where
families come together to prepare the traditional dish of Pongal.
Both festivals are a time for gratitude, joy, and
togetherness. They remind us of our roots and the importance of community,
making them especially meaningful for the Indian diaspora living abroad.
Exciting
Events Lined Up for the Festivals

festivities with a variety of events that celebrate our rich culture and
traditions. Here’s a glimpse of what you can look forward to:
• Pattimandram:
