In India, 14th / 15th January is celebrated by various names within India. Some places it is called Lohiri, some call it Makar Sankranti, Some Pongal and so on... Basically it signals the end of harvesting season with bountiful crop and ending of winter in India. Reason may be many but it is an occasion of joy and celebration and I wish all my readers and readers to be a very HAPPY & PROSPEROUS MAKAR SANKRANTI / PONGAL / LOHIRI.
