Also
known
as
Maghi
or
Makar
Sankranti
marks
the
end
of
winters
and
entering
the
harvest
season.
On
this
auspicious
day,
followers
thank
the
Sun
God,
also
known
as
Surya
Dev
by
rising
early
and
get
ready
to
welcome
the
warmer
days.
The
festival
which
holds
relevance
in
all
parts
of
India
is
celebrated
slightly
differently
in
Maharashtra.
Nehha
Pendse,
the
versatile
actor
soon
to
be
seen
as
Anita
Bhabi
in
&TV's
Bhabiji
Ghar
Par
Hai
shares
how
this
festival
has
always
been
closed
to
her
heart.
The
actor
comments,
"Makar
Sankranti
takes
me
back
to
my
childhood
days
where
we
often
took
joy
in
exchanging
sweets
with
relatives
and
friends
along
with
saying,
'til
gud
ghya
god-god
bola'.
In
other
words,
the
ladoo
made
of
sesame
and
jaggery
is
believed
to
bring
in
sweetness
and
positivity.
Another
sweet
memory
related
to
this
festival
is
gorging
on
the
freshly
made
Puran
polis
by
my
aaji
(grandmother)."
She
further
adds,
"The
reason
we
consume
the
combination
of
til,
jaggery
and
gram
flour
during
this
festival
day
to
keep
the
body
warm
and
healthy
during
winters
and
brings
in
good
luck.
On
this
occasion,
I
wish
everyone
a
very
happy
and
blissful
Makar
Sankranti.
May
this
festival
fills
everyone's
life
with
bright
and
happy
moments."
