Pranamams to All,
Shrivaishnavas in Karnataka celebrate Pongal as Makara Sankranthi, the
Harvest festival.
The previous day is celebrated as Bhogi Habba and the next day Kanu
Habba(Festival).
They exchange Ellu/Bella a mixture of Ground nuts and Jaggerry(vellam),
including Sugar Cane with the Relatives and friends.
They prepare Huggi (Pongal), and Sweet Pongal on that day.
The next day they celebarte Kanu Habba. On this day Mother, Sisters and
Sister-inlaws in the family are given gifts and small Dosas are
prepared.
