The day is also the first day of the four days Makara Sankranti festival celebrated widely in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Maharashtra. This year, Bhogi falls on January 14 and the four-day festival will last until January 17. The celebrations start with Bhogi Festival, Thai Pongal, Mattu Pongal and end with Kaanum Pongal.
