Pongal is a popular Hindu festival celebrated in all parts of the country by different names. Tamil Nadu, a south Indian state, is famous for celebrating the festival of Pongal that lasts for 4 days. The festival is usually observed in the month of January every year. Pongal denotes the beginning of the sun's six-month long voyage northwards. The term "Pongal" is intricately tied to rice and signifies the act of boiling. The occasion serves as an expression of gratitude to the Sun God for a bountiful harvest, with a customary ritual of boiling rice in milk offered as a gesture to the sun prior to the festival's commencement. While Pongal is celebrated across India on the same day, various regions mark the festival under different names. In Rajasthan and Haryana, it is known as Sakraat, while Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh observe it as Uttarayana. Punjab and Himachal Pradesh recognize the festival as Maghi, and Assam refers to it as Bhogali Bihu. These diverse names reflect the cultural richness and regional nuances associated with the festival, each region embracing unique traditions and customs.

प्रथम गुरू से पूछिए, कीजै काज बहोर। सो सुखदायक होत है, मिटै जीव का खोर।। प्रथम गुरू की आज्ञा लें, तब अपना नया कार्य करना चाहिए। वह कार्य सुखदायक होता है तथा मन की सब चिंता मिटा देता है।
कबीर, यज्ञ दान बिन गुरू के, निश दिन माला फेर। निष्फल वह करनी सकल, सतगुरू भाखै टेर।। पहले गुरू धारण करो, फिर गुरूदेव जी के निर्देश अनुसार दान करना चाहिए। बिना गुरू के कितना ही दान करो और कितना ही नाम-स्मरण की माला फेरो, सब व्यर्थ प्रयत्न है। यह सतगुरू पुकार-पुकारकर कहता है।

In India, seven days are set aside to commemorate Martyrs' Day, also known as Sarvodaya Day, in memory of those who gave their lives in defence of the country. Shaheed Diwas is observed on January 30 to honour Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi who was killed in 1948 killing by Nathuram Godse. This day honours the heroes who fought in the war of independence to build India's foundation, including the nation's father. Gandhi, who had escaped many assassination attempts, encountered difficulties along the way. The first attempt was made in 1934, and then there were two more in 1944 and 1946. The last attempt was made just ten days prior to his untimely death. Martyrs’ Day is celebrated at Rajghat where the state heads such as the President of India, Vice President, Prime Minister, and other service chiefs visit and pay respect to Mahatma Gandhi. The saying "Religion taught us to return good for evil" is attributed to Mahatma Gandhi.
