Makar Sankranti is being celebrated across the country on January 14. The pious day is marked in the lunar month of Magha. The day is dedicated to the Surya or the Sun God. Devotees worship the Sun on this day and seek blessings.
Believers as a part of the age-old ritual take a holy dip in sacred rivers, like Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari and Krishna. As per Hindu belief, doing this on Makar Sankranti can help the person wash all the sins that s/he has committed in life.
To mark the occasion, celebrities from the Indian Film Fraternity have extended their warmest wishes to all their fans and well-wishers.
Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan took to the micro-blogging site to pen a note for his online family.
