Makar sankranti is one of the few ancient Hindu festivals that has been observed according to solar cycles, while most festivals are set by the lunar cycle of the lunisolar Hindu Calendar. Being a festival that celebrates the solar cycle, it almost always falls on the same Gregorian date every year (January 14), except in rare years when the date shifts by a day for that year, because of the complexity of earth-sun relative movement.The festivities associated with Makar Sankranti are known by various names such as Lohri by north Indian Hindus and Sikhs, Sukarat in central India, Bhogali Bihu by Assamese Hindus, and Pongal by Tamil and other south Indian Hindus. As I always say, Hindus are having lot many festivals to celebrate and being an Odia you can really have " n " number of festivals in every month.
With all the colorful rangoli designs everywhere and decorations along with kite flying, bonfire and feasts all these just add up to make the day glorious. Being a January Capricorn, I really enjoy this festival.
Last year was our first Makar Sankranti together. We three..Me, Pokémon and Saswat my brother went to temple for a prayer and prepared Makar food. Had lots of pics and celebrated well.
Out of all these stuffs, the most difficult stuff was to convince him to wear traditional and sit next to Pongal rangoli! ❤️❤️
Still as they say, Kshatriyas follow the tradition with respect and so as we.
Love. Live and spread happiness.
Enjoy each festival and spread positive vibes.
Love always!❤️❤️❤️
