Maghe Sankranti 2080
It was held on the first day of Magh Month in Nepal each and every year. During these days, people will go on the riverside to take a shower over there. Make a puja for the sun in the morning. On Maghe Sankranti, many people eat liquids, boil the liquid, eat it, and then offer the liquid to God and eat it.
It is celebrated by waking up in the morning, cleaning the house, washing and cleaning the house, and eating khichdi with rice. On this day, fairs are held in many places in Nepal, and all things are displayed in that fair.
I don’t remember many things on the day of Sankranti. But these days, people have a custom of cooking khichdi at home, and it seems that it is also a custom to cook khichdi and throw it away, but I don’t know if this is a real thing or not. I have only informed you here of what was said and what I heard. When I was a child, I heard a story about Mage Sankranti. That too happened when I was in the second grade. On Mage Sankranti, we have a tradition of cooking khichdi and eating it.
As soon as Maghe Sankranti is celebrated, a fair is held at Dhunge Sahu in Pokhara. Many people in Pokhara go to that place and worship and enjoy the Maghe Sankranti fair as well. In that fair, special people bring Doka Namla and other household items. Now this fair is also disappearing; modern people do not even know what kind of fair it is or what the specialty of this fair is, and they do not even know well.
