Happy Makar Sankranti 2017: Get your patang
and manja ready because this Saturday is Makar Sankranti. The holiday falls
every year on January 14, although due to the earth’s revolutions, it is
predicted that by the year 2050, it will fall on January 15, according to India
Times. The festival, which is known by many names like Uttarayan, Maghi and
Khichdi Parv, marks the start of the spring. It is celebrated by flying kites
and eating til chikki, however, over the years, it has gained a certain amount
of notoriety as many birds are injured by the kite threads. Another popular
food during this festival is til gur laddoos. You must have heard of the
popular Marathi saying, “Til gur kha, god god bola (eat sweets and say sweet
things).” On this joyous day.
