Makar Sankranti

---

India is the land of festivals. Makar Sankranti is one of the important festivals of Hindu religion that we celebrate with great joy and happiness. The festival is celebrated every year on 14 or 15 January depending upon the solar cycle.

The word Makar Sankranti derives from two words Makar and Sankranti. Makar means Capricorn and Sankranti means transition, which makes Makar Sankranti mean the transition of the sun in the Capricorn (Zodiac sign).

It’s a festival of togetherness and delicacies. Different part of our country celebrates this festival differently and calls it with different names. Also, the custom of each and every region is different and each region celebrates it with their respective customs. But, the ultimate aim of the festival remains the same throughout the country that is spreading, prosperity togetherness and joy.
So,
Here’s wishing you the warmth of the bonfire, the sweetness of til laddo and May the Sun God shower you with his choicest blessings. May you always be happy and healthy — a very Happy Makar Sankranti to you and your family from the CODECHEF IEMK Chapter.
