Organised by the Residents’ Welfare Associations of 1st, 3rd, 4th, 4thB, 6th and 8th Blocks, ST Bed and Ejipura, the festival will be held at the CA Site near 8th Main Road, 4th Block, Koramangala.

Celebration Activities and Community Engagement
The festival promises a lively mix of music, games, food sharing, laughter, dance and cultural performances, bringing together families, neighbours and children from across Koramangala. Traditional folk art forms such as Kamsale and Veeragase will be among the highlights, along with festive attractions like the Kabbu, Ellu-Bella and Avare Bele Mela, celebrating Karnataka’s agrarian roots.
Speakers and organisers emphasised that the three-day festival is designed to be inclusive and community-driven, encouraging residents of all ages and backgrounds to step out, participate and celebrate together. The focus, they said, is on shared joy, collective participation and cultural bonding.
Nitin Sheshadri, Secretary of 3rd Block RWA, said Sankranthi is a festival that belongs to everyone.
“These three days are about music, games, food and shared laughter. There is something here for everybody. Come out with your family and experience the joy of celebrating together,” he said.
Calling the event a celebration of hearts as much as harvest, Dr Prashanth Malur, Secretary of 4th Block RWA, said Sankranthi Suggi is an opportunity to reconnect families and children with Karnataka’s traditions.
“It is not just a festival, but a cultural coming-together of our community,” he noted.
Raghu, President of 4th Block RWA, highlighted the significance of Uttarayana and the harvest season.
“With folk dances, music, games and traditional food, Sankranthi Suggi reflects the spirit of togetherness. When the community joins in, the celebration becomes richer,” he said.
Echoing the inclusive message, Vijayashree Anand, Head of Abhijaate Koramangala, said the festival transcends language and regional identities.
“Regardless of where we come from or what language we speak, these three days unite us. Bring your children, neighbours and friends — the happiness multiplies when shared,” she said.
Inviting the public to participate in large numbers, Ramalinga Reddy said Koramangala will witness a unique harvest celebration from January 9 to 11.
“From Avare Bele to sugarcane, from food to folk culture, Sankranthi Suggi will have it all. Let us eat together, play together and celebrate together,” he said.
With its strong emphasis on community engagement, cultural heritage and shared celebration, Sankranthi Suggi 2026 is set to be a festive highlight in Koramangala’s calendar.
