Description | Makar Parab is celebrated in the houses of Hindus for the joy of the gathering of new crops. This festival is celebrated in different ways in different parts of the state. The structure of this festival varies from region to region. It is one of the most important vegetable festivals in Bengal. It is said that in ancient times, the new year started on the first day of Saurmas, or Magha. At this time, the movement of the sun begins. Actually, when the sun enters Uttarayana from Dakshinayana in Makar Sankranti, it gets Makara Rasi (10th sign according to Jyotish) and stays on the Tropic for a short time. That is why Poush Sankranti is called 'Uttarayana Sankranti' or 'Makar Sankranti'. [Content Source: Jaladarchi] |
