Why Inter-State Travel Peaks More Than Intra-City Travel Before Sankranti
• Sankranti sees a surge in inter-state travel due to families reuniting in ancestral homes for traditional celebrations.
• Extended holidays and financial planning enable longer trips for Sankranti, prioritizing family time over shorter intra-city options.
• The cultural significance of returning to one's roots outweighs the convenience of urban destinations during Sankranti.

Sankranti, a harvest festival celebrated across India, particularly in the southern states, witnesses a significant surge in travel. While intra-city travel also increases, inter-state travel often sees a more pronounced peak in the days leading up to the festival. Several factors contribute to this phenomenon.
