Makar Sankranti 2021: Celebrated with much fervour and excitement across several parts of India, the harvest festival of Makar Sankranti is the first major Hindu festival of the year. Also known as Makara Sankranti, the festival marks the beginning of a new harvest season and the conclusion of the winter season. The day also signifies the first day of the sun's transition from star sign Dhanu (Sagittarius) to Makar (Capricorn) in the Hindu month of Pausha.
Although the festival's cultural significance and names vary geographically, it is celebrated with the same zeal across the country. Makar Sankranti is known as Pongal in Tamil Nadu, Pedda Pandaga in Telangana, Makar Sankranti in Karnataka, and Magh Bihu in Assam.
The festival is celebrated around the same date every year, January 14, as it is determined as per the solar calendar. People begin the day of Makar Sankranti by taking a dip in rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, Krishna, Godavari, and Cauvery, as well as express gratitude to the Sun God Surya.

People also distribute jaggery laddoos (til-gur) and fly kites on this auspicious day.Although the celebrations will be muted this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, make sure you send your good wishes to your loved ones with these heartfelt messages: -
