Magha Purnima also known as Maghi Purnima is
a full moon day which falls in the month of Magh according to the Hindu
calendar. It is the month in which the famous Kumbh Mela (held every 12
years) and the Magha Mela (an annual event) takes place at Triveni Sangam (a confluence of three rivers) in Prayag or Allahabad.
Magha is
one of the most sacred months because at the beginning of the month the
sun sets on its northern path. Magha Purnima is the last and most
important day of the month of Magh. It is regarded as an auspicious day
to take holy bath.
Magha
Purnima also marks the conclusion of the Magha month in North India.
Therefore, the full moon day of this month is greatly revered by Hindu
devotees especially the worshippers of Lord Vishnu.
Magha Mela which is an annual event is held at Prayag in
Allahabad and millions of devotees including pilgrims, underprivileged,
priests, ascetics and the common man take a holy bath on this day.
Significance
Magh Purnima is venerated as a 'bathing festival' across the country and a dip in the Ganga on
this day holds high religious merit. Hindu devotees take a holy bath in
the Ganga or Yamuna rivers every day of the month which begins from
Paush Purnima and ends on Magha Purnima. Those who cannot make it to the
sacred river can take a bath in any other stream, river, tank or pond
which is regarded as holy and auspicious.
On
this day, a number of bathing festivals are held on the banks of holy
rivers like the Ganga, Jamuna, Kaveri, Krishna, Tapti, etc. People walk
for miles and miles to be able to take a single holy dip in the river. A
dip in the sea at Kanyakumari and Rameshwaram also has high religious
value.
Similarly, a bath in the Pushkar Lake in Rajasthan is also regarded as equally auspicious. In Madras at Kumbhakamaon,
there are shrines of Nageshwara and Sarangpani near which there is a
large tank in which devotees can take a dip on this holy day. It is
believed that the water of the sacred Ganga flows into this tank on this
auspicious day. -

MAKAR SANKRANTI WILL BE OBSERVED ON 15TH JAN
Makar Sankranti is the day when the glorious Sun-God begins its ascendancy and entry into the Northern Hemisphere and thus it signifies an event wherein the Sun-God seems to remind their children that Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya - may you go higher & higher, to more & more Light and never to Darkness.
HISTORY OF MAKAR SANKRANTI
This festival has been celebrated by Hindus since ancient times. Details of this festival are also mentioned in Hindu religious texts and documents.
According to one popular legend, this festival originated because people were celebrating a demon’s downfall. As the story goes, a particularly murderous demon named Sankarasur would torture and kill humans for no particular reason. Hearing this, a goddess named Sankranti came down to Earth and vanquished him. Ever since then, Hindus have held this festival in her name.
People also worship the Sun god, Surya, on this day since the sun has a lot to do with the changing season. From this day on, the sun starts moving northwards.
The festivities themselves have multiple traditions and legends attached to them. One main tradition centers around kite-flying under the sun. People believe this practice cleanses bodies of infections and germs after a long winter.
Traditional sweet dishes are consumed on this day, a tradition that also has a legend attached to it. Apparently, the Sun god Surya never quite got along with his son, Shani. On this day, however, they decide to let bygones be bygones, and Surya visits Shani’s home, carrying sweets as a mark of forgiveness. And so, Hindus eat and distribute sweets with loved ones.
Another tradition this festival is famous for — the spiritual element. People believe that holy waters — and a cleansing dip in them — are essential to Makar Sankranti celebrations. They visit holy rivers like the Ganga and Yamuna in India, on mass pilgrimages.
Across many parts of India, this season means the early stages of the agricultural cycle, when crops have been sown and the hard work in the fields is almost complete. Therefore, this time signifies a period of socializing and families enjoying each other’s company.

Makar
Sankranti is four days festivity period which is dedicated to Lord Sun.
All rituals during Makar Sankranti are gestures of thanksgiving to

cattle especially bulls and oxen are worshipped for their significance
in traditionally ploughing fields.
Makar Sankranti is celebrated
throughout India. In North India people take holy dip in Ganga on Makar
Sankranti day. Thousands of people throng Hindu pilgrimage places like
Haridwar, Banaras and Allahabad to take holy dip in Ganga. It is
believed that holy dip in Ganga on Sankranti purges all sins committed
by the person. Makar Sankranti is also the main bathing day at Ganga
Sagar Mela which is held near Kolkata. Sikh community especially in
Punjab and Haryana celebrates Lohri one day before Sankranti.

Sankranti is known as Uttarayan in Gujarat. Uttarayan is a significant
festival in Gujarat which lasts for two days. The main day of Makar
Sankranti is known as Uttarayan and the next day of Uttarayan is known
as Vasi Uttarayan or stale Uttarayan. The day is considered highly
auspicious and is dedicated to Lord Surya.
In Tamil Nadu people
celebrate Makar Sankranti as Pongal. Pongal is celebrated for four days
but the most important day of Pongal festivity is known as Thai Pongal
and it is celebrated on Makar Sankranti day. Thai Pongal is followed by
Mattu Pongal and Kaanum Pongal. The day before Thai Pongal is known as

harvested rice, banana, coconut, jaggery, sesame, rasagola, Khai/Liaa
and chhena puddings for naivedya to gods and goddesses. The withdrawing
winter entails a change in food habits and intake of nourishing and rich
food. Therefore, this festival holds traditional cultural significance.
It is astronomically important for devotees who worship the sun god at
the great Konark temple with fervour and enthusiasm as the sun starts
its annual swing northwards. According to various Indian calendars, the
Sun's movement changes and the days from this day onwards become
lengthier and warmer and so the Sun-God is worshiped on this day as a
great benefactor. Many individuals at the start of the day perform a
ritual bath while fasting. Makara Mela (Fun fair) is observed at
Dhabaleswar in Cuttack, Hatakeshwar at Atri in Khordha, Makara Muni
temple in Balasore and near deities in each district of Odisha. In Puri
special rituals are carried out at the temple of Lord Jagannath. In
Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar, Kalahandi, Koraput and Sundargarh where the tribal
population is greater, the festival is celebrated with great joy. They
celebrate this festival with great enthusiasm, singing, dancing and
generally having an enjoyable time. This Makara Sankranti celebration is
next to the Odia traditional new year Maha Vishuva Sankranti which
falls in mid April. Tribal groups celebrate with traditional dancing,
eating their particular dishes sitting together, and by lighting
bonfires.
Andhra Pradesh & Telangana
The festival, Sankranti is celebrated for four days in Andhra Pradesh:
Day 1 – Bhoghi (Andhra only)
Day 2 – Makara Sankranti the main festival day
Day 3 – Kanuma (Andhra only)
Day 4 — Mukkanuma (Andhra only)
The
day preceding Makara Sankranti is called Bhoghi). This is when people
discard old and derelict things and concentrate on new things causing
change or transformation. At dawn, people light a bonfire with logs of
wood, other solid fuels and wooden furniture that are no longer useful.
The disposal of derelict things is where all old habits, vices,
attachment to relations and material things are sacrificed in the fire
of the knowledge of Rudra, known as the "Rudra Gita Gyana Yagya". It
represents realization, transformation and purification of the soul by
imbibing and inculcating divine virtues.
In many families,
infants and children (usually less than three years old) are showered
with the Indian jujube fruit Ziziphus mauritiana, called "Regi Pandlu"
in Telugu. It is believed that doing this protects the children from the
evil eye. Sweets in generous quantities are prepared and distributed.
It is a time for families to congregate. Brothers pay special tribute to
their married sisters by giving gifts as affirmation of their filial
love. Landlords give gifts of food, clothes and money to their
workforce.
The second day is Makara Sankranti. People wear new
clothes, pray to God, and make offerings of traditional food to
ancestors who have died. They also make beautiful and ornate drawings
and patterns on the ground with chalk or flour, called "muggu" or
"Rangoli" in Telugu, in front of their homes. These drawings are
decorated with flowers, colours and small, hand-pressed piles of cow
dung, called "gobbemma" .
For this festival all families prepare
Chakinalu, Nuvvula Appalu, Gare Appalu or Katte Appalu or karam appalu,
Madugulu (Jantikalu), Bellam Appalu, kudumulu, Ariselu, Appalu (a sweet
made of jaggery and rice flour) dappalam (a dish made with pumpkin and
other vegetables) and make an offering to God.
On the day after
Makara Sankranti, the animal kingdom is remembered and, in particular,
cows. Girls feed the animals, birds and fish as a symbol of sharing. -
On
the third day, Kanuma is celebrated. Kanuma is very intimate to the
hearts of farmers because it is the day for praying and showcasing their
cattle with honor. Cattle are the symbolic indication of prosperity.
The
fourth day is called Mukkanuma which is popular among the
non-vegetarians of the society. On this day, farmers offer prayers to
the elements (like soil, rain, fire for helping the harvest) and the
(village) goddesses with their gifts which sometimes (and these days
mainly) include animals.
People in Coastal Andhra do not eat any
meat (or fish) during the first three days of the festival and do so
only on the day of Mukkanuma.
On this occasion, in every town and
city, people play with kites and the sky is filled with beautiful
kites. Children and elders enjoy this occasion.
Another notable
feature of the festival in Andhra Pradesh is the Haridasa who goes early
in the morning around with a colorfully dressed cow, singing songs of
Lord Vishnu (Hari) hence the name Haridasu (servant of Hari). It is a
custom that he should not talk to anyone and only sing songs of Lord
Vishnu when he goes to everyone's house.
Uttarayan, as Makara Sankranti is called in Gujarati, is a major festival in the state of Gujarat which lasts for two days.

stuffed with soft/shredded jaggery mixed with toasted, ground til [white
sesame seeds]) and some gram flour, which has been toasted to golden in
pure ghee, are offered for lunch.
similar festival is observed inall most all states.

melas or fairs are held on Makara Sankranti the most famous being the
