Question

Short paragraph on "How do you celebrate makar sankranti

Answer 1

The traditional celebrations and rituals associated with Makar Sankranti vary from state to state. Since the festival traditionally coincides with the Sun’s northwards journey into the Uttarayan, when it enters the sign of Makar Rashi (the Capricorn), people in huge number take dips in the holy Ganga River at Haridwar and offer water to the Sun God (Surya). It is believed that by doing this, all sins will be purified and one can attain salvation. Also on this day, people worship Goddess Saraswati who is considered as the Goddess of knowledge. Apart from this, kite flying is a popular tradition on the occasion of Makar Sankranti. This is so because this festival coincides with the International Kite Festival which is held at Ahmedabad, Gujarat on 14th January.
