The Makar Sankranti festivities have been observed with great fervour across India. We salute the hardwork of our farmers and pray for their prosperity. — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) January 15, 2018

 

On Makar Sankranti, we exchange sesame seeds & jaggery. The tiny sesame seeds remind us of our insignificance in this vast creation. The feeling that ‘I am nothing’ dissolves the ego & brings humility. Jaggery is a symbol of spreading sweetness. #HappyMakarSankranti
