Pongal/ Makar Sankranti/ Lohri Printable Worksheets are an amazing resource to educate kids about Indian culture and festivals.

Pongal, Makar Sankranti, and Lohri mark the end of the winter solstice and welcome spring! These festivals not only signify the ripen crops celebration, but also a way to be thankful to the Sun God (Surya) for harvest and abundance. It also marks an important astronomical change as  Sun enters the Makara Rashi (Capricorn zodiac).
