Makar Sankranti, one of India’s significant festivals, marks the first major celebration of the new year. This festival signifies the Sun’s transition into Capricorn and the onset of Uttarayan. In 2025, Makar Sankranti will be observed on Tuesday, January 14.
The festival is rooted in the Sun’s movement from Dakshinayan to Uttarayan. This shift not only signifies longer days but also represents positivity, new beginnings, and spirituality. When the Sun enters Capricorn, it is considered an auspicious time to start new ventures.
Makar Sankranti is a day dedicated to honoring the Sun God and expressing gratitude. It is believed that taking a dip at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati on this day cleanses one of sins. The festival emphasizes charity, bathing, and meditation, with donations of sesame, jaggery, khichdi, and food being particularly virtuous.
Celebrations of Makar Sankranti vary across different regions of India, showcasing the country’s rich cultural diversity. Let’s explore the various ways Makar Sankranti is celebrated throughout the country.
North India: Khichdi Festival
In Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Jharkhand, the Khichdi Festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm. On this day, taking a dip in the Ganga, performing acts of charity, and enjoying khichdi hold special importance. People also indulge in laddus made from sesame and jaggery.
Gujarat: Uttarayan and Kite Festival
In Gujarat, Makar Sankranti is known as Uttarayan. The unique tradition of kite flying adds a vibrant touch to this festival. The sky becomes a canvas of colorful kites, accompanied by the cheerful shout of “Kai Po Che!”
Punjab: Lohri Celebration
Lohri is celebrated in Punjab on the eve of Makar Sankranti. Communities gather around bonfires, dancing to the lively beats of Bhangra and Gidda. It’s customary to share and enjoy sesame, jaggery, gajak, and peanuts during this festive occasion.
Makar Sankranti showcases the rich cultural diversity of India. This festival not only preserves traditional customs but also strengthens our connection to our roots.
