Sankranti is one of the most significant festivals in Karnataka, especially in agrarian regions. Celebrated during the harvest season, it marks the successful completion of agricultural activities and expresses gratitude to nature for abundance and prosperity. Farmers decorate their homes, cattle, and farmlands, symbolizing respect for agriculture and livestock. Traditional sweets made from jaggery and sesame seeds are prepared and shared, strengthening community bonds.
In rural Karnataka, Sankranti is more than a festival—it is a reflection of the state’s deep agricultural roots. Cultural gatherings, local fairs, and family celebrations bring warmth and joy, making it an ideal time for visitors to experience authentic village life.
