As winter softens and the sun begins its northward journey, India bursts into celebration. From the crackle of bonfires at Lohri, to the golden harvest joy of Makar Sankranthi, the earthy rhythms of Tussu Parab, and the vibrant festivities of Pongal and Bihu, these festivals honour abundance, gratitude, and renewal. They are moments when communities come together, traditions take centre stage, and age-old rituals glow with contemporary relevance.
