Paanak is a traditional non-alcoholic drinkable from my hometown. When mortal mentions Paanak, it at nowadays brings to heed the flick of people playing alongside colors , squirting water-guns filled alongside colorful H2O at each other too basically drenching them. It is all inwards the spirit of camaraderie. Paanak is served to all the festivity revelers too the spectators standing inwards the hot sun. Paanak non solely is refreshing too quenches the thirst, it is likewise rejuvenating! The jaggery inwards Paanak helps counteract hypoglycemia ( decreased blood saccharide levels).
Holi is a festival of colors that is mainly celebrated inwards Northern job of India. Where I come upward from, which is the South Kanara part of Southern India, nosotros choose a similar festival of colors celebrated on the 6th solar daytime of Theru/Rathasaptami ( Chariot festival). The concept for both is the same!
