India’s diversity is beautifully reflected in how Makar Sankranti is celebrated across different regions:
  • Uttar Pradesh & Bihar: Known as Khichdi in Uttar Pradesh, people take holy dips in rivers like the Ganges and offer khichdi to the needy.
  • Punjab: Celebrated as Lohri on the eve of Makar Sankranti, it is marked by bonfires, folk dances, and feasting on jaggery, sesame seeds, and peanuts.
  • Gujarat: Famous for the International Kite Festival, the skies of Gujarat are filled with colorful kites, symbolizing freedom and joy.
  • Tamil Nadu: Known as Pongal, it is a four-day harvest festival where rice is cooked in milk and offered to the Sun God.
  • Maharashtra: People exchange sweets like tilgul (sesame and jaggery) while saying, “Tilgul ghya, god god bola” (Accept this sweet and speak sweetly).
  • West Bengal: Celebrated as Poush Sankranti, people prepare sweets like Pithe made from rice flour, jaggery, and coconut.

Traditional Foods of Makar Sankranti

Food plays a central role in the celebrations. Dishes made from sesame seeds (til) and jaggery (gur) are commonly prepared, as they are believed to purify the body and provide warmth during winter. Regional specialties include tilgul ladoos, puran poli, khichdi, and pithe-puli.

Customs and Rituals

  • Holy River Bathing: Taking a dip in sacred rivers like the Ganges, Yamuna, and Godavari is believed to cleanse sins.
  • Charity (Daan): Donating food, clothes, and essentials to the needy is an essential ritual, fostering generosity.
  • Kite Flying: Symbolizing the joy of freedom and the spirit of competition, kite flying is a beloved tradition, especially in Gujarat and Rajasthan.
  • Bonfires and Folk Songs: In Punjab and Haryana, communities gather around bonfires, singing and dancing to folk tunes.

The Spiritual and Astrological Connection

Astrologically, Makar Sankranti marks a significant shift in the cosmos, believed to enhance spiritual consciousness. It is considered an ideal time to perform rituals, start new ventures, and engage in self-reflection and charity.

Conclusion

Makar Sankranti beautifully blends tradition, spirituality, and cultural diversity. It reminds us to express gratitude for nature’s blessings, cherish family bonds, and spread kindness. As kites soar high and homes fill with the aroma of festive delicacies, Makar Sankranti continues to inspire joy, unity, and prosperity across India.
