Mahika Sharma: Makar Sankranti is the festival of kindness and glory of harvesting. While distributing sweets, everyone is asked to spread joy. Also, since the festival falls in winter, eating of sesame and jaggery is considered beneficial to health as these are warm foods. Thus, it is specifically this sweet that's distributed as it signifies bonding and good health. Happy Sankranti.
