In 2026, Makar Sankranti will be celebrated on Wednesday, January 14, 2026. This harvest festival marks the sun’s entry into the Makar Rashi (Capricorn), ending the cold winter season. In Maharashtra, Makar Sankranti is observed by sharing traditional Tilgul sweetmeats made of sesame and jaggery while greeting loved ones with the phrase “Tilgul ghya, god god bola” (Accept this tilgul and speak sweet words). Married women participate in Haldi-Kunkum ceremonies, distributing small utility gifts (Vana) to celebrate marital bliss and community bonding.
