Maghe Sankranti is a Hindu festival celebrated primarily in Nepal and parts of India, marking the transition of the sun into the zodiac sign of Capricorn. It usually falls around mid-January and signifies the end of winter and the beginning of longer days. The festival is associated with the harvest season and is a time for families to come together and celebrate. During Maghe Sankranti, people prepare special foods, including til (sesame seeds) and gud (jaggery), which are believed to bring health and prosperity. Many also take holy dips in rivers and perform rituals to honor their ancestors. The festival emphasizes gratitude for the harvest and the importance of community.
