It is already said that they are celebrating differently in one state. The famous kite flying festival is held in Gujarat.

There is a large community of farmers in India who have given so much importance to the backbone and farmers of India. Work hard on the land that grows crops year round without taking any breaks to relax

It is because of the farmers that we feed ourselves. So in a big way this festival is a tribute to the Indian farmer and a celebration of his hard work.

After a year of hard work in the fields, farmers rejoice in the crops they received in their fields and then celebrate this harvest season in a happy way. And Capricorns celebrate(makara sankranti) the festival together

In some parts of Karnataka, on this festive day, the cows are well purified,
