Happy Sankranthi/Pongal (2013)

Sankranthi is the  first festival of the year, which signifies the celebration of the first harvest (especially rice from the paddy fields),

wishing good luck for the new year and bestow happiness in life.

Sankranthi Muggulu/Rangoli is traditionally drawn in front of the house to stop new season germs from entering the home,these rangolis add color to your life. I have made an attempt to draw few rangolis in front of our home.
