Now Hyderabad skies have stars by night and colorful birds by day. Birds with long tails, dancing fearless. Birds in graceful flight
 
Mention of Sankranthi, rings bells of Patang (kites). The colourful muggula (Rangoli) floors come to mind, scores of women giving their heart to great works of art. Everyday a new expression, a new smile of the world glued on the floor. As the festival is approaching, challenging girls wish to claim the whole floor from one end to the other to make large or largest muggulu. Riot of colours  
 

Sankranthi is a festive season for all in Hyderabad- potte aur budde, men and women. Sankranthi looks like a festival that joins earth and sky together in colours

Sankranthi is patangula panduga for many days with all guys -young and old- thinking of maanja, patang and the cheerful crowd around to go flying kites in intoxication that’s Hyderabad and Secunderabad
