Today is the 50th anniversary of Annapurna Studios built by my father, Akkineni Nageswara Rao to establish the Telugu film industry in Hyderabad!! I can proudly say that his vision has been accomplished and it remains to be one of the most premier film Studios in the country, providing employment to thousands of people directly and indirectly!! On this occasion, my gratitude to the staff of Annapurna Studios and the Telugu film industry for their invaluable support."

The Magh Mela of Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) takes place at the divine Triveni Sangam, the place of confluence of the sacred rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and the legendary Saraswati.

The pilgrimage is named after the Hindu month of Magh, which typically falls in January-February.

The Prayag Magh Mela is a 45-day pilgrimage that begins on Paush Purnima (the full moon day of the month of Paush) and ends on Mahashivaratri, spanning the entire month of Magh.

Nagarjuna's message about Annapurna Studios is inspiring. 50 years of contributing to Telugu cinema and providing employment is a real achievement. His father's vision lives on. Happy Sankranti, Anna!

The diversity of celebrations across India is fascinating. Makar Sankranti, Pongal, Bhogi – all happening around the same time. The photos from the Magh Mela at Sangam look incredibly powerful. Wishing everyone a prosperous harvest season.

While it's nice to see celebrity wishes, the real spirit of Sankranti is in our homes – flying kites, making tilgul, and family gatherings. Sometimes the social media posts feel a bit disconnected from the ground reality of the festival.

Mahesh Babu wishing for Bhogi and Manoj Bajpayee ji including Pongal in his message shows the beautiful unity in our diversity. Uttarayan, Pongal, Lohri – different names, same gratitude for the harvest. 🙏

The scale of the Magh Mela is always astounding. Lakhs of devotees taking the holy dip with such faith. It's the heart of our cultural and spiritual fabric. May the blessings of Maa Ganga be upon everyone.
