Makar Sankranti is a very auspicious occasion of the Hindu culture dedicated to the Sun god, Surya, and it marks the end of winter and celebrates the journey of the sun during Uttarayan. Celebrated every year in the month of January, this festival is of prime importance in the rural areas of India as it marks the threshold of the harvest season. Farmers take this opportunity to express gratitude for the harvest and the abundant yield and pray for a better future on the day of Makar Sankranti.
