Hi Mylot Friends,
Sankaranthi is national festival and this festival is celebrated in January. Sankranthi is major festival for Telugu people living in 4 southern states of India Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamilnadu and Kerala. The employees of IT sector also have two days leaves and most of the employees avail 3rd day also. To and fro tickets for different destinations were already sold out and private operators are collecting double charges, even Govt buses also charging extra charge for special buses and train tickets are sold out the long waiting list in reservations. I too faced one or two times this Festival season rush to buses and trains.

As you said its the national festival of india and adding it to more, its as important and famous as diwali festival. In north india , especially in punjab state its known as the "LOHRI" festival, celebrated on 13th of january. On this day, kite flying is most common allover punjab. Its the most important festival of winter season. Peanuts, rewari are the common dry fruit which is served on this day amongst people. On this day, in evening woods are put on fire to celebrate "LOHRI".
