Answers
Answer: it spreads awareness about the culture
Explanation:
Just like many other Hindu festivals, this is an important occasion for Hindus to celebrate Makar Sankranti festival.
What is unique about this festival is that, while all the other festivals follow the lunar calendar for calculating the precise date of every festival, this is the only festival that follows the solar calendar and hence it falls on the same date almost every year.
On this festival, people buy new clothes, eat special preparations at home and visit temples. A special preparation of sesame and jaggery is combined to make special laddoos that make the occasion truly special.
The purpose of eating these laddoos is that, sesame contains oil based constituents in every grain of sesame. During the cold season, skin gets dry and flaky and requires moisture for keep it smooth and protected.
So this moisturizing benefit is got from eating sesame laddoos, which is an essential part on the festive day.
