#1 No celebration without sharing!
Makar Sankranti is harvest season in India. When there is harvest, the first crop you get, you share with everyone! Celebration cannot happen without sharing.
#2 Celebration comes with wisdom
In India, every celebration is linked with some wisdom. That’s the beauty here. In Maharashtra, they exchange sesame seed and jaggery balls and say, ‘tilgud ghya, gode gode bola,’ which means, “you have this, and let sweet words come out of you.”
#3 Harsh winter always makes way for pleasant sunshine
This is the time that marks the end of the harsh winter, and the beginning of a time of pleasant sunshine! So we celebrate that.
