Makar Sankranti festival is dedicated to the Sun(Surya) which has great importance in Hindu culture. the festival marks the start of an auspicious period of next six months called “Uttarayan” where the days will become longer and warmer. Makar Sankranti is believed to be a good time for various spiritual practices and events like Pujas and Havans.

On this day people take a dip in the waters of river Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery(Kaveri) which is believed to help them to cleanse their sins. People pray to the sun and thank it for the success and prosperity. People make sweets(Tilgul) made with sesame seeds(Til), jaggery(gud) and share them with everyone.

Tilgul symbolizes the togetherness and bond between the people in peace despite differences and diversity. The festival marks the end of sowing the seeds in farming and nearly the end of work in the field, hence, it’s the time for people to enjoy with their family, socializing and celebrating around the bonfires singing folk songs.
