MAKAR SANKRANTHY
The first day of the month. Today lakhs of Hindus take bath in
the rivers and ponds, braving the cold.
It is new year, throughout India, believed to be the
beginning of ‘utharayan’, the northward march of the Sun. The actual day was December
, 21. Long ago or ancestors must have found out the correct date, but their
followers did not bother to verify it.
In coure of time, celestial events do change.
In Tamilnadu, it is ‘pongal’. This new year celebrations
extend for four days. These days are holiday for them
