Happy Sankranti 2011
The sun appears serene and peaceful.
The days have become shorter.
The sweet festival of Sankranti has come,
filling our homes with the newly harvested grain.
Oh my dear friend, here comes the gangireddudasu.
Come, let us go and see him.
He wears a silver medallion and a waist belt.
He carries a decorated staff and wears special marks on his forehead.
He brings with him the richly caparisoned sacred cow and
bull and performs their marriage.
Let us see the marriage ceremony and offer our gifts
As Sankranti is the festival of festivals,
Come, reach your homes, if you are away.
Spend your time in fun and frolic with your loved ones,
The entire household and neighborhood will welcome you with love and affection.
Come, let's all celebrate Sankranti together. Fly your kites, share your sweets.
Fill your life with joy and make this time a memorable one.
