Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: d) All of the above.
Sankranti is a Hindu festival that marks the beginning of the harvest season. It is celebrated in different ways across India, but some common activities include:
- Rangoli patterns: These are colorful designs made on the ground with rice flour, sand, or flower petals. They are often used to welcome the gods and goddesses who are believed to visit during the festival.
- Kite flying: This is a popular activity for children and adults alike. Kites are often decorated with images of gods, goddesses, or animals.
- Bonfires: These are lit on the night of Sankranti to ward off evil spirits and to welcome the new year.
- Devotional offerings and temple rituals: These are performed to thank the gods and goddesses for a bountiful harvest.
- Feasting and community gatherings: Sankranti is a time for family and friends to come together and celebrate the harvest. People often feast on special foods, such as tilgul (a sweet made from sesame seeds and jaggery), and share gifts with each other.
Sankranti is a time of joy and celebration. It is a time to give thanks for the blessings of the harvest and to look forward to the new year.
