Lata , see here how we do ,
In Karnataka people celebrate it as " Shankranthi " , as usual prayers is for sun god , usually in the courtyard of the house along with suguarcane, turmeric plants , flowers, fruits etc.. along with they boil the milk ...... and allow the milk
to overflow ... that shows the happines have no boundries in this house. During first day of UTTHARAYANA the sun changes the position and moves towords MAKARA RASI. On this day Karnataka people exchanging sesame & jaggery mixture alongwith sugarcane and banana. This is called 'ellu beerodhu " , this simply means " ELLU BELLA KOTTU ,
OLLE MATHUAADU " ( i.s. GIVE SESAME SEADS ALONG WITH JAGGERY AND TALK ALL GOOD THINGS FOR PERIOD TO COME ) ... Am sure this Ellu + Jaggery do has some scientific reasons which am not aware pl excuse me.

Now looking at kitchen , we do sweet pongal, Dall vada , and other usual ( depending upon our happines ) , we can... no limit & exchange the same with our neighbours..

Dear Rajamma,
In my early ages, we girls make very very big kolams and we never allow to cross any bullock cart or horse cart(kuduraivandi) through our kolams. we make cowdunk like pillayr and put one yellow flower called parangipoo above the pillayar. It is a symbalic that a girl in this house is ready for marriage.In the evening we make the sani pillayar(cowdungpillayar) into round shape and put on top of the cowshed. On the last day of Markali i mean on Bogi day we girls collect all the dried cowdung put it in a big bamboobasket and will go near the river and will make pongal and pulikolambu out of pumpkin . Do you know how tasteful that kulambo will? we innocent girls dontknow even how to prepare the kulambo. Even then it taste very very fine.We used to sing song kummi kollattam and will return to our house in the evening.Very nice olden days.
