Uttarayan Punyakaal
The significance of Uttarayan Punyakaal is due to the Sun’s movement northwards, which brings about a change in the duration of day and night. It is considered extremely auspicious from a spiritual point of view and performing charity during this time, especially Ganga bath, is extremely fruitful.
Pongal
Pongal is celebrated as a harvest festival in South India, especially in Tamil Nadu. It is a four-day festival in which gratitude is expressed to nature, the Sun God, and livestock. A sweet rice dish called Pongal is the hallmark of this festival.
Magh Sankranti
Bathing in the Ganga, Yamuna and other holy rivers on Magh Sankranti has special significance. This festival marks the beginning of the month of Magh, in which devotees earn merit by performing puja and charity.
Magh Bihu
Magh Bihu is the main harvest festival of Assam, also known as Bhogali Bihu. On this day, there is a tradition of traditional feasting, burning of Meji and celebration in bamboo houses. It is a celebration of the hard work of farmers and the joy of new harvest.
Hazrat Ali Jayanti
Hazrat Ali Jayanti holds special significance for the followers of Islam. On this day, the teachings and life of Hazrat Ali, who was the son-in-law of Prophet Mohammad and the first Imam, are discussed. This day is a symbol of inspiration for his followers.
