Why Should We Glorify Makar Sankranti?

Makar Sankranti: In Hindu tradition, Makar Sankranti is a highly fortunate day

In Hindu tradition, Makar Sankranti is a highly fortunate day. This holiday is celebrated with tremendous zeal and devotion throughout India. After a ceremonial bath, devotees attend temples early in the morning, presenting Dan Punya and praying to God for blessings for the entire family.

Makar Sankranti is celebrated under several names in different areas of the country. In southern India, it is recognized as ‘Pongal.’ In Punjab and Haryana, it is known as ‘Lohri.’ However, Lohri is celebrated before the day of Sankranti, Magh Bihu in Assam, and Khichdi in UP and Bihar.

In Gujarat, a famous kite-flying event occurs when prominent families gather on the terrace of their separate residences to participate in flying kites with relatives and neighbors. The festival is a significant occasion that marks the conclusion of a gloomy period in everyone’s day and the beginning of a new one.

 This is an important holiday for Hindus to celebrate their harvest with festivities and bright displays, just like many other Hindu festivals. This event is remarkable in that, although all other festivals use the lunar calendar to calculate the specific date of each festival, this is the only celebration that uses the solar calendar, so it comes on the same date practically every year. During this occasion, folks buy new attire, prepare unique dishes at home, and visit temples.

An unusual sesame and jaggery recipe is used to produce exceptional laddoos that make the event genuinely memorable. Sesame has oil-based components in every grain of sesame, which is why these laddoos are eaten. During the winter, skin becomes dry and flaky, necessitating hydration to maintain it smooth and protected. So eating sesame laddoos, an integral part of the celebratory day, provides this moisturizing effect.

On the blessed day of Sankranti, the Sun moves from the tropic of Cancer to the tropic of Capricorn. Capricorn is Saturn’s zodiac sign, according to popular belief. Saturn, as we all know, is the Sun’s son. In other terms, it simply implies that the sun lord visits his son and stays with him.

Thus, it represents letting go of old anger and quarrels from the past, leaving our well-formed egos behind, and moving into a beautiful world of love and compassion. Establishing cordial connections with the people we care about, letting go of any bitterness or grudges we harbor, and generating a cheerful state of mind for ourselves and others around us exemplify why we should celebrate this festival. An Indian farmer is a large group in India that toils in the fields, growing crops all year without rest.

They do not take vacation days, nor do they spend their weekends swarming shops and complexes; instead, they labor hard in the fields to produce the basic food that we consume every day via our meals. We can have a good supper and fill our stomachs thanks to the farmers. In a significant way, this event is a homage to the Indian farmer and a celebration of his hard labor.
