In 2024, Makar Sankranti hopes to establish itself as a custom that not only fosters interpersonal relationships but also fortifies cultural bonds. In 2024, as we exchange Makar Sankranti wishes, we welcome the new year with optimism and happiness. Since Makar Sankranti is the first holiday and celebration in the Hindu calendar, there is always a lot of enthusiasm for the occasion. Based on the specific solar, this celebration is observed nationwide in January. This day honors the Deity Surya and marks the beginning of the winter month's end with its first transit into Makara.
Kite flying, bonfires, Surya puja in the river, art, and dance are all part of the celebrations. It's a harvest festival. The same event is observed differently and under different names in different parts of India. In Tamil Nadu and other South Indian states, it is observed as Pongal. Observing the communal feast promotes socializing.
