The sankranti festival is synonymous with the celebration of the triplets, where all households are adorned with colorful rangolis in the shape of triangles. The excitement for this festival starts a month in advance, and as sankranti approaches, porches become even more beautiful. Actress Keerthy suresh, acknowledging the significance of this festival, shared her own traditions and blessings associated with Sankranti.
Keerthy mentioned that her devotion to festivals was instilled by her mother. It's a tradition for her to stay at home for the first festival that marks the beginning of the new year. On this day, she disconnects from gadgets and engages in decorating the house with banana leaves, sugarcane, and flowers. Another ritual involves pouring milk into a large earthen pot, creating a funnel with six outer stones. The prepared prasad is then distributed to relatives' houses, or everyone is invited to her home to remember the departed.
Keerthy suresh highlighted the influence of telugu tradition on her practices, especially since she has been working in telugu films. She noted the introduction of new customs, such as cleaning and mowing the driveway in front of the house, which is a telugu tradition observed in the days leading up to Sankranti. Having immersed herself in telugu films and culture, Keerthy seems well-versed in the local customs and has established close relationships with telugu actors.
