Make a colourful poster showing festivals in India linked to farming and weather (e.g., Baisakhi, Onam). Add pictures or drawings of these festivals.
A poster on festivals linked to farming and weather should include the following celebrations that highlight India's rich agricultural heritage.
Baisakhi (Punjab) is a harvest festival marking the arrival of the harvest season, celebrated in April with bhangra dances.
Pongal (Tamil Nadu) is a four-day harvest festival in January thanking the Sun God.

Makar Sankranti is celebrated across India in January, marking the transition of the Sun.

The poster should show how these festivals are deeply connected to agricultural cycles, seasons, and climate patterns.
