Makar Sankranti, the festival that marks the end of winter and the beginning of longer days, holds a special place in the heart of actress Karishma Tanna. Karishma recently opened up about her love for this harvest festival and the cherished traditions she associates with it. “It’s the simplicity and universality of Makar Sankranti that makes it unique,” she shared in a recent interview. “It’s a time to step back, appreciate the small joys of life, and celebrate togetherness.”
Karishma relives the joy of kite flying
For Karishma, the essence of Sankranti lies in its timeless traditions. Flying kites, a highlight of the festival, is something she eagerly looks forward to each year. “As a child, I would spend hours perfecting my kite-flying skills,” she reminisced with a smile. “Even today, I love the thrill of seeing my kite soar high against the clear blue sky.”
Karishma finds comfort in undhiyu
Another integral part of her celebrations is indulging in traditional delicacies, especially undhiyu, a Gujarati mixed vegetable dish prepared with seasonal produce. “The aroma of freshly cooked undhiyu fills the air, and it’s a reminder of home and family,” she said. “Sharing a meal with loved ones during Sankranti is truly special.”
Cultural tapestry of Makar Sankranti
The actress also emphasized the cultural richness of the festival, celebrated with slight variations across India. From Uttarayan in Gujarat to Pongal in Tamil Nadu and Lohri in Punjab, the diversity of traditions adds to its charm. “No matter where you are, Makar Sankranti’s message of gratitude and new beginnings resonates with everyone,” she noted.
Heartwarming sankranti celebration
This year, Karishma plans to celebrate the festival surrounded by family and friends, reliving old traditions and creating new memories. “Makar Sankranti is a reminder to cherish the little things that bring joy and to embrace the spirit of togetherness,” she concluded.
