Sankranti Bommalakoluvu in Telugus' culture - Subhakankshalu

[Guest guest]

Sankranti Panduga - Makara Sankranti of Pongal, celebrated in the

month of Poushyam, unites the whole of our country in celebration.

With nemerous communities addiing their own flavour to the festival

with their quaint customs, Sankranti celebrations in our Telugu's

household take a whole new colour.

 

In Telugu homes, this Pedda Panduga or Peddala Panduga is a grand

affair that goes on for four days.From the first day of Bhogi,to

Sankranti,Kanuma and the final Mukkanuma, there are customs that are

unique to our Telugu culture.

 

Haridasulu,Gobbemmalu,Muggulu,Ariselu,Perantalu,Uttarayanapunyakala

gummadikayadaanalu,Pongallu,Bommalakoluvulu,Bhogipallu,

tilladdus,Gangireddulu,

Bhogimantalu and many other traditions shower happiness and

pleasure.These rituals are important as they keep us grounded to our

roots and help begin the year on a positive note.

 

The Sankranti Bommalakoluvu, like Dasara Bommalakoluvu is very much

significant in our celebrations. It gives an opportunity to the

child generations to acquint with our culture,traditions,our

history,our great people,our purnas,itihasas and many other modern

ongoings in the world for personality development and excellence in

life. It is the responsibility of parents and grand parents to

explain about dolls and the significance of Bommalakoluvu for

creating best impressions in their open minds.

 

I request you to listen about Bommalakoluvu with your children and

grand children on these festive days.
