Celebrating Makar Sankranti in India

Every year Makar Sankranti falls on the 14th or 15th of January, and there’s a good reason for that too. The term “Sankranti” refers to the movement of the Sun from one Zodiac to another, so there are a grand total of 12 Sankrantis. What makes Makar Sankranti special? During Makar Sankranti, the Sun moves from Sagittarius or Dhanu Rashi to Capricorn or Makar Rashi, in numerous ways this signifies a new beginning. The Sun which moves into the Northern Hemisphere leads to longer days and the end of the Indian Winter. It falls during the harvest season, with freshly cut crops offered to gods and subsequently eaten. The period signifies “fertility” and bursting into action after the slow and delirious winter season. It ushers in the “auspicious” part of the year which lasts until Karkata Sankranti which falls somewhere in July. It is also the only festival celebrated going by the solar calendar. The contrast between the cozy western holiday season and the vibrant onset of Hindu fertility is an abrupt transition but goes perfectly with the hopeful nature of the new year.

All over India, Makar Sankranti is celebrated in different ways with each one doing their own thing. 14th/15th January signifies not one or two but many festivals.

In Tamil Nadu, the festival is known as Pongal, which translates to “to boil, overflow” and freshly cut rice is cooked with milk and jaggery. The Tamil version can be traced back to the Chola empire, so roughly around the 9th to 13th century. Spread over three days (and a lesser-known fourth day), each day has its own significance. The first day is known as Bhogi Pongal or Indran and focuses on cleaning the house, as each member dusts and scrubs until every surface is squeaky clean. The second day is called Thai Pongal or Surya Pongal and is the most important day, the Pongal is made and first offered to the gods, then the cattle, and only after that are the family members allowed to have it. The third day is spent grooming and worshipping the cattle.

Uttayaran in Gujarat can only be defined by one word, “vibrant”. Strewn across skies are kites that made for a tapestry. There is an industry revolving around this particular time of the year, as kite sales skyrocket (pun intended) and officials from different countries come to participate in kite competitions. The reason behind flying kites is that being out in the Sun after the winter helps kill germs and be more exposed to Vitamin D. Dishes like Undhiyo that are nearing the end of their season are relished for the last time.

If we go farther North, we come across Lohri, the Punjabi variant of Makar Sankranti. The folklore attached to Lohri is of a man known as Dulla Bhat, who lived during the reign of Emperor Akbar. He used to steal from the rich and distribute it among the poor. In his honor, people sing “Sundar Mundriye” during Lohri. This story is different than the religious and godly myths surrounding the other festivals, and it’s fascinating how a festival honors a man who worked for the needy. Punjab is a largely agrarian state, so the festivities are rooted in harvesting crops. People get together around huge bonfires and eat everything from Chikki to Saro ka Saag.

There are tons of other festivals on this day, in Assam it's called Magh Bihu with games like tekeli-bhonga (pot-breaking) and buffalo fighting taking place. In Bihar, locals have chuda-dahi (beaten rice and yogurt) and a portion of gur (jaggery), and in Bengal, it’s called Poush Sankranti and have sweets like pithe, patishapta, etc. with rice and palm jaggery.

So in my neighborhood, on the day of Bhogali Bihu, all the families gather on the street to have a friendly neighborhood competition that consists of childish stuff like musical chairs and stuff and it's for all age groups and they even win prizes. Anyways, some people are already out and they've got speakers and mics and shit and my mom's still getting ready. But they're (who are just are neighbours) announcing, or rather demanding that my mom come out quickly because she's the reason this thing happens every year. When I tell you my mom's the main character of this neighborhood, y'all better believe.

Samhain and Irish Mythology

Irish mythology was originally a spoken tradition, but much of it was eventually written down in the Middle Ages by Christian monks, who Christianised it to some extent. Nevertheless, these tales may shed some light on what Samhain meant and how it was marked in ancient Ireland. Irish mythology tells us that Samhain was one of the four seasonal festivals of the year. The 10th-century tale…

Jaya Ekadashi 2024

Jaya Ekadashi 2024, a significant Hindu fasting day, holds a revered place in the Hindu calendar. Falling on the 11th day of the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Magh (magh Ekadashi 2024), it is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is observed with great devotion and enthusiasm.

Jaya Ekadashi 2024 date:

Jaya Ekadashi 2024 will be observed on Tuesday, 20th February. The fasting for Jaya Ekadashi begins on 19th February 2024 at 8:49 am and concludes on 20th February 2024 at 9:55 am.

The Parana, or the breaking of the fast, should be done on 21st February 2024, between 6:55 am and 9:11 am.

Auspicious Yoga:

Jaya Ekadashi is associated with auspicious yogas such as Preeti, Ayushman, Tripushkar, and Ravi Yoga. These yogas are believed to enhance the benefits of worshiping Lord Vishnu on this day.

Jaya Ekadashi significance:

Jaya Ekadashi is considered a powerful fast that can cleanse one of the sins and grant worldly pleasures.

The month of Magh, in which Jaya Ekadashi falls, is auspicious for the worship of Lord Shiva, adding to the significance of this day.

The fast ends with Parana, ideally done as soon as possible after the end of Dwadashi.

In some South Indian communities, Jaya Ekadashi is also known as Bhoomi Ekadashi (Jaya ekadashi vrat Katha) and Bhishma Ekadashi.

Devotees observe this fast with dedication and perform rituals to seek the blessings of Lord Vishnu for the fulfillment of their desires and spiritual growth.
