Here(kerala) there is no festival;there are poojas held in temples;but Makara Sankranthi is famous in kerala for sabarimala temple utsavam and Makara Deepam(the light which is seen in sky in Sabarimala).
Lord Ayyappan of Vellala? origin(arguably!!) is most visited by tamils,karnataka,andhra peoples and keralites are low in visit
Happy Makara Sankranthi to All!
Is that pongal is celebrated in all other southern states
TN,karnataka,andhra?here in kerala,no pongal!may be some pattars(tamil brahmins) will celebrate
