Sunny Priyan
Makar Sankranti marks the end of winter and the beginning of the harvest season, symbolizing prosperity and abundance.
It celebrates the sun's entry into Capricorn (Makar), marking longer days and the gradual return of warmth.
It’s considered a highly auspicious day for performing rituals, offering thanks, and seeking blessings for a fruitful year.
According to Hindu mythology, Makar Sankranti is linked to the sun god's journey towards the northern hemisphere, known as Uttarayan.
The festival coincides with the start of the Kumbh Mela, one of the largest religious gatherings, believed to cleanse sins.
Makar Sankranti unites the nation through shared traditions and honoring its deep agricultural significance.
