Makar Sankranti

This is celebrated in the month of Magh , on 14th January, when the sun enters Makar Rashi ( the zodiac sign of Capricorn, the goat ), starting its northward journey. Makar Sankranti is the day of the equinox, when day and night are equally long. Hindus believe that those who die on this day attain moksha , escaping from the cycle of birth and re-birth.

In Maharashtra, people eat til-gul , sweets made of til (sesame) and jaggery. In Gujarat, thousands of colourful kites dot the skies as people vie with each other to win community kite-flying competitions. In Punjab, Makar Sankranti is celebrated as Lohri, and in South India as Pongal. In West Bengal, the devout converge at the Ganga Sagar Island in the Ganges delta, to take a holy dip at the confluence of the sea and the river Ganga. A large fair is held for three days during this period.
