Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang hailed and wished the people of the state a happy ‘Maghe Sankranti’. I wish everyone in Sikkim joy, prosperity, health, and a renewed sense of purpose in the wake of this important occasion. CM shared the following message on his official social media accounts: “May this festival bring joy, good fortune, and many blessings to every household throughout the state.” Known as Makar Sankranti in other parts of the country, Maghey Sankranti holds immense religious, spiritual, cultural, and celestial significance.
It heralds the return of life and hope, the start of the harvest season, and the lengthening of the days. The celebration is expected to be a lively cultural extravaganza this year, uniting communities to honor Sikkim’s diverse range of traditions and customs. The celebrations will eloquently express the essence of peace and harmony via colorful traditions, lively gatherings, and the sharing of local foods.
