Til and Gud Festivals:-These festivals are considered incomplete without sesame and jaggery

The festival of Makar Sankranti will be celebrated on 15 January 2023, Sunday. Along with the worship of the Sun God on this day, sesame and jaggery are also considered very important. On the day of Makar Sankranti, sesame and jaggeryladdus or any sweet made from these are offered to the Sun God and then the same prasad is distributed to everyone including the family in the neighbourhood.

Our astrologer expert DrRadhakant Vats says that sesame and jaggery are prevalent on the day of Makar Sankranti because Makar Sankranti comes on cold days and both these things are very beneficial for the body in winter. That's why it is customary to eat sesame seeds and jaggery. In addition, astrologically, sesame seeds and jaggery strengthen the Sun, making its position auspicious in the horoscope.

That's why sesame and jaggery are trending on Makar Sankranti. At the same time, not only Makar Sankranti but there are many other festivals on which sesame and jaggery are prevalent. These festivals are considered incomplete without sesame and jaggery and the importance of these festivals is also due to sesame and jaggery. In such a situation, let us know which festivals which cannot be celebrated without sesame and jaggery.
