Sankranti

Sankranti is a festival that signifies the beginning of the harvest season for the farmers of Karnataka in India. It is marked by a public holiday throughout the State. That includes Bangalore.

So HBI Software is closed for business today.

Sankranti is just one of a number of Indian public holidays. Most mark important religious festivals and events. They include Shivratri, Ugadi, Janmashtami, Dashera, Gandhi Jayanti and perhaps the best known Indian festival outside the sub continent, Diwali.

So to the team at HBI and beyond, have a great Sankranti!

We will celebrate in NZ in the usual way.
