Answer:

Happy Makar Sankranti.....

The presence of this festival can be dated back to the early years of the Mahabharta. Several scholars can vouch for the mention of Makar Sankranti or Magah in the famous epis of Mahabharata. During this time of the year, Pongal is celebrated in South India. It also marks the beginning of the harvest season for the South Indians.

However, due to different crop yield patterns and ancestral lineages, the celebration is different from the north Indian Makar Sankranti. The two festivals bear semblance but are vastly different from one another. The devotees of Sun God and The River Goddess begin their days with a Surya Namaskar and take dips in the cold waters of the Ganga. The dips are taken by the ardent devotees to wash off the sins that they might have committed in their lives. In Gujarat Makar Sankranti is called Uttarayan.

It brings the end of the winter Solstice and celebrates the ending the longest night in the months of Winter. Kites are flown in various parts of Gujarat, and the people revel in diverse festivities across the state.

The month of Makar Sankranti is called Paush in the Lunar Calendar. It is named Dhanu is the Solar Calendar. Bengalis abide by the Lunar Calendar and have month-long celebrations called Paush Sakranti. This festival celebrates the first harvest or the first rice that is harvested. A first crop is a commonplace of celebration across the country. It may have several names, but the spirit of the festival remains the same.
