Sankranti is an important celebration in Telugu states that lasts three days: Bhogi, Makar Sankranti, and Kanuma. It is when those who have moved abroad for study or a career come home to rejoice with their families. The three days are filled with pleasure and enthusiasm, and schools and universities have an extended holiday to commemorate the occasion.

The Andhra Pradesh (AP) and Telangana governments have provided clear information on the Sankranti holidays. The Education Department in AP has stated that the Sankranti holidays will take place from January 10 to 19, 2024-25.
