Just like other Hindu festivals that hold so much importance, Makar Sankranti has its own significance. Just after Lohri comes Makar Sankranti comes every year in the month of January. Along with marking the end of the Winter Season, it is the beginning of a new harvest season. You will begin to notice that from this day on, the nights become shorter and the days get longer. If you know of the zodiac signs then you can relate to this. That Sun enters into the zodiac sign Capricorn or Makar is also known as the start of the month of the Magh.

Makar Sankranti is an auspicious day and we celebrate it throughout India with great devotion and full spirit. After taking a holy dip in the river Ganga, the devotees visit the temples and offer their prayers to God to seek his blessings. You must have heard that this dip cleanses a person of one’s sins and purifies the soul too. 

A day full of celebration and cheer! Soar high just like the kites on Makar Sankranti 2020!

We celebrate this festival with different names in different parts of the country. In Gujrat, the very famous kite flying festival takes place and people compete with each other by flying kites. We eat til laddoos made of sesame and jaggery on this day which holds great importance.

This festival brings a feeling of harmony and everyone celebrates happily with family and friends. People often donate food, clothes, blankets on this day along with dal and rice. 

Wishing you and your family sweet surprises and happiness on Makar Sankranti!
