Heartfelt greetings to all of you on Makar Sankranti
Makar Sankranti is a significant day as the Sun enters Makar Rashi (i.e. Capricorn zodiac) as per Vedic astrology. In Hinduism the Sun is worshipped and known as Surya Deva who nourishes all living beings on the Earth. The sun stands for knowledge, spiritual light and wisdom.
Although all twelve days in Hindu calendar when Surya Deva transits a rashi(zodiac) are considered significant for worshipping Surya Deva, taking religious bath in holy water bodies and performing charity activities but the day when Surya Deva starts moving into Makar Rashi is considered the most auspicious day of the year to worship Lord Surya.
☀Significance☀
Makar Sankranti signifies that we should turn away from the darkness of delusion in which we live and begin to joyously let the light within us shine bright. We should grow in purity, wisdom and knowledge just as the sun does from this day. Sun stands for all ideals; its message is that of light, unity, equality and true selflessness. These are the ideals of a karma yogi. Hence, the sun is the biggest karma yogi. It doesn't ask for any rewards for all that it gives us. If it stops giving light, we will be doomed. If we learn this one lesson from the sun, our lives will shine with the divine lustre.
1. Surya visits his son Shani, on Sankranti day.
Lord Shani is the ruler of the planet Saturn as per the astrological parlance. He is described as the one who keeps a close watch of the sinful and good deeds performed by people and give the corresponding results in their consecutive births. Shani Dev is black in complexion and is born to Chaya Devi and Lord Surya Dev (Sun god). The story of Shani is quite interesting which also tell us of his incomparable powers just like his father.
Lord Surya married Sandhya and begot three children namely Vaivasvatah Manu, Yam (God of death) and Yamuna. Though Sandhya was a chaste and highly devoted wife to sun god, she could not bear the dazzling brilliance and heat of Surya. Therefore, she wished to undertake a penance to gain the necessary power to withstand the brilliance of sun or to overtake his brilliance with her own brilliance acquired as a result of her penance.
Sandhya created a woman namely Chhaya (the word meaning shadow) from her own shadow and asked her to represent her role as the wife of Sun and take care of the three children too. However, she did not want to reveal any of her plans to Sun God. Doing so,Sadnya handed over her responsibilities to Chaya and went away to her parents’ place.
She went home and told her father that she could not stand the radiance of God Surya. And therefore, without telling her husband she had come away. Listening to this, her father scolded her and told her that without being called, if the daughter returns home, both her and her father would be cursed. He told her to go back to her home immediately. Then, Saudnya began to worry that if she went back, what would happen to the responsibilities which she had given to Chaya? Also their secret would be exposed.
So,she went to the dense jungles in Uttar Kurukshetra and took repose there. She was fearful of her safety in the jungle because of her youthfulness and beauty, hence changed her form into that of a mare so that no one could recognize her and started her penance.
Since Chhaya resembled Sandhya very closely, Sun God could not doubt her. Three more children were born to Sun God through Chaya namely Manu, Shani and Tapti. Therefore, Shani is called the son of Surya and the brother of Yama.

As Shani was in the womb of Chaya, she undertook a severe penance under the dazzling sun to propitiate Lord Shiva. As she was totally immersed in prayers and worship of Lord Shiva, the divine vibrations were unconsciously nurturing the baby inside the womb. Therefore, Shani Dev was so much devoted to Lord Shiva too. Also, since Chaya did penance under the blazing sun for so long, Shani was growing black inside the womb. As Shani Dev was delivered, Sun god despised seeing the color of the boy and doubted whether Shani was born to him. This angered Shani Dev who casted an angry look at his father. Due to the power of Shani Dev, Surya too was scorched to black color and movement of his chariot's horses stopped.
Then Surya dev worshipped and called out to Lord Shiva who described him why Shani was so black. Knowing the truth behind the issue, Sun God realised his wrong & apologised. After that Surya dev regained back his glorious looks and power of his chariot's horses

So, right from his birth, there was a severe misunderstanding between Sun god and Shani, and they didn't go along well. But on Makar Sankranti, leaving all enmity behind, Surya dev visits Lord Shani's 2nd house I.e. Makar(Capricorn). Also Shani dev welcomes him forgetting their bitter past.

✒According to another story, once Surya dev witnessed Chhaya doing impartiality with her step son Yama, hence he deserted both his wife Chhaya and his son Shani, which made Shani angered and he cursed his father to suffer from leprosy. Looking at his father's state, Yama dev got saddened and did penance to cure him. After getting cured, Sun God in anger burnt Lord Shani's house, 'Kumbh', which increased Shani dev and his mother's sufferings. When Yam saw his step mother and step brother's condition, he went to his father & requested to end their sufferings. Finally after listening to Yama, Surya dev went to Shani's house, 'Kumbh'. Shani Dev had nothing to welcome him other than Black Til (seaseme seeds) as everything got burnt. So he welcomed him by doing Pooja with that Black Til only, impressed by his act, Sun God blessed him saying that his visit to Shani's second house 'Makar' would filled it with wealth. It is believed that because of Til, Lord Shani got his grandeur back. Hence Til is offered to both Sun God and Lord Shani during Pooja on Makar Sankranti.
2. Ganga coming down on earth & Liberation of Bhagirath's ancestors
The great savior of his ancestors, Maharaj Bhagirath, did great Tapasya to bring Gangaji down on the earth for the redemption of 60,000 sons of Maharaj Sagar, who were burnt to ashes at the Kapil Muni Ashram, near the present day Ganga Sagar. It was on this day that Bhagirath finally did tarpan with the Ganges water for his unfortunate ancestors and thereby liberated them from the curse. Thus Makarsankranti marks the start of good luck and fortune for all endevours.
From then on, Ganga Sagar has been a holy pilgrimage in Bengal. A dip in the water at the junction of the river and sea (Prayag) is consider to be auspicious. It is believed on this day, who takes bath in Ganga is freed from all his sins. Although on this day bathing of women has been forbidden.
Big celebrations are made on this day as Ganga sagar mela in west bengal. Sage Kapil ashram attracts lot of visitors on this auspicious day.

3. Importance of Uttarayan
✒In the eight chapter of Gita, the importance of Uttarayan of the Sun is clarified by Shri Krishna. According to it, the person who leaves his body in light does not take birth again while the person who dies in darkness takes birth again.
Here, light and darkness means Uttarayan & Dakshinayan of the Sun respectively.
✒Bhishma knew the importance of Uttarayan and had the boon of Ichchha Mrityu. Hence even after being laid down on bed of arrows he refused to give away his life and waited for this auspicious day to depart from earth.

✒Importance of Uttarayan is also mentioned in Chandogya Upanishad
4. Lord Vishnu triumphed over the demons.
The sacred story says that on this day Lord Vishnu beheaded the demons and buried under the Mandara Parvat. Thus, it symbolizes the end of negativity and evil in life and the beginning of an era of righteous living.

5. Yashoda Maiyya's Fasting
Yashoda Maa fasted to get Lord Vishnu as her son and Lord Vishnu fulfilled his wish by taking an avatar of Shri Krishna.
6. Worship of animals during Makar Sankranti.
One day, Lord Shiva asked his bull Nandi to go to the earth and deliver a message to the disciples. The message was to "have an oil bath everyday and food once a month." However, poor Nandi got confused with the message and told the worshippers that Lord Shiva had asked them to "have an oil bath once a month, and food everyday." When Shiva learnt of this, he was enraged and ordered Nandi to stay back on earth and help the poor farmers to plough the fields, since they would now need to produce more grains in order to be able to eat every day.

🍛 KHICHDI 🍛
Khichdi one of the most basic dishes cooked in any household. It's a simple, classic, single-pot, easy to cook wholesome meal which is not only appetising to the taste buds, but has the perfect balance of nutrients too.
The country where festivals are celebrated by eating variety of dishes, who would have thought that this humble Khichdi became one of the important foods with which the festival of Makar Sankranti is celebrated. In fact, the humble khichdi is so integral to the festivities that Makar Sankranti is alternatively called 'Khichdi' in some regions of the country.
So, read this further to know answers of following questions:-
☘Religious Significance
✒ On Makar Sankranti there is a tradition of making new rice khichdi as prasaad to Surya Devta(Sun God) and Kul Devta (Clan God/Gods). People send Khichdi to each other's house and wish for peace and happiness.
.
One reason behind this practice is that India is an agricultural country and Sun God has been considered as the basis of agriculture & thus make Khichdi to offer it to the Surya Dev.
✒ It is also believed that the tradition of making khichdi started from Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh on the day of Makar Sankranti. This is the reason why Makar Sankranti is also known as 'Khichdi' festival in Uttar Pradesh.
Baba Gorakshnath was the initiator of the tradition of Khichdi.It is said that Khichdi was the favourite food of the Hindu god Gorakshnath, a Hindu yogi, saint who was the influential founder of the Nath Hindu monastic movement in India. He is also considered as part of Lord Shiva. That's why the tradition started by him continued to play
✒ The story of Khichdi of Gorakhnath of Gorakhpur starts from the mother and that mother is not an ordinary mother. He is the form of Adishakti. Although no mother is ordinary , but this mother is fulfilling the promise given to her son.
According to belief, one day while wandering, AdiGuru Gorakshanath reached the place of Goddess Jwala Devi in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh during the Treta era. When he reached the beautiful, spiritual and picturesque place, he had a divine feeling.
Seeing the Siddha Yogi, Maa(Goddess) Jwala herself appeared and addressed Guru Gorakshnath as son. Baba also felt blessed to have sight of Maa Jwala before him. Mother invited him for food and told him to get purified first, till then she serve food. When the Guru arrived, he politely refused to eat the Tamasa food (variety of dishes present there) and said to have food made with only rice and pulses, which he received in alms.
The Goddess respected the Guru's wish and said that I will serve food made from rice and pulses brought by you. The Goddess set fire to the pot to make it, and the Guru left for asking alms. From there he came to place Gorakhpur, and here, after choosing a place at the confluence of Rapti and Rohini rivers, he kept his Akshay Patra (never ending vessel) at one place and became absorbed in spiritual practice.

Gorakhnath Temple: Baba Gorakshanath
At the same time when the festival of Makar Sankranti came, people saw the Akshay Patra of the saint (Yogi), then they started adding rice and dal into his vessel. When the vessel was not filled even after adding a lot of food, people considered it a miracle of Yogi and bowed his head in reverence before him. The tradition of offering rice and pulses at Gorakhanath's Taposthali, which started then is still going on with same faith and reverence. Hence the name placed Gorakhpur.

Gorakhnath Temple: People offering Khichdi
✒ Since then, every year in the Gorakhanath temple, Khichdi is offered to idol of AdiGuru Gorakshnath first by Gorakshapeethaadheeshwar (head of Gorakshapeeth) at dawn, then Khichdi from King of Nepal & then brought by other devotees, after which the process continues till late evening. Devotees throng the temple and offer Baba Gorakhnath rice, lentils and haldi and seek blessings for a prosperous harvest year ahead. Khichdi is then served to all the devotees present at the temple as a 'prasada' or blessing from god.It is believed that Guru Gorakhnath fulfills every wish of devotees who offer khichdi to him on Makar Sankranti.
✒On the other hand, in the 'Jwala Devi Temple', situated amidst Kalidhar hill in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh which is considered one of the 51 Shakti Peethas of the Goddess, where the tongue of Mother Sati fell after getting cut down by Sudarshan Chakra of Lord Vishnu, it is said that even after all these years, water is still boiling for preparing food for Guru Gorakshanath.
Jwala Devi Temple, Kangra
This place is called Gorakhdibbi where Mother Goddess Jwala Devi is still waiting for her son's return. On the day of Makar Sankranti, devotees arrive with khichdi in Kangra at Jwala Devi Temple.

(Believed to be Mouth of Goddess Mahakali)
✒ They hang rice and potatoes etc. wrapped in a cloth above. the place and it got boiled due to the effect of Gorakhdibi water. It is a divine miracle that if one takes out the water from that Dibbi in his/her hand, it feels cold, but hot in that Dibbi.

☘ Historical Significance
✒ The legend is that during the invasion of the Muslim ruler Khilji, the Nath yogis(saints) could not get the time to cook food due to the struggle with Khilji. This often left yogis hungry and weakened.
To solve this problem, Baba Gorakhnath advised to cook dal, rice and vegetable together. This dish was quite nutritious and delicious too. It also provided immediate energy to their bodies. Nath yogis liked this dish a lot. Baba Gorakhnath named this dish Khichdi.
With the quick-cooked khichdi, the food problem of Nath yogis was solved and he was successful in removing the terror of Khilji. Makar Sankranti is also celebrated as Vijay Darshan festival in Gorakhpur due to the freedom from Khilji.
✒ A Khichdi fair starts on the day of Makar Sankranti near the temple of Baba Gorakhnath, situated at Gorakhpur. Khichdi is offered to Baba Gorakhnath in this fair that lasts for several days and is also distributed as Prasaad.
☘ Cultural Significance
✒ Makar Sankranti is a special harvest festival of the North and is celebrated by preparing several types of dishes. Khichdi, the one pot meal is usually made with freshly harvested rice, lentils and a mélange of Indian spices with winter vegetables, which makes it a special dish. This signifies the process of life and regeneration, which further indicates the beginning of the new harvest year Since the dish is cooked in a single pot, it is symbolic of unity.
✒ Since the celestial transition during this time results in longer and warmer days, there is a change in temperature levels. This change of season results in many health-related issues. Therefore, it is imperative to consume a diet that is well-balanced, nutritious and light at the same time same time. Khichdi happens to be one vegetarian delight, which is light on the stomach, so easily digestible. The ingredients of this dish help in boosting our immunity and also keeps body warm from within which is quite important during the chilly days.
☘ Nutritional Value of Khichdi
✒ Khichdi is the wholesome meal fully packed with nutrition. The combination of rice, lentils and ghee provides carbohydrates, proteins, dietary fibre, Vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium to our body. Many people also add vegetables to it to enhance its nutritional value.
☘ Ayurvedic Significance
✒ Khichdi is a staple food of the Ayurvedic diet, as it has the ability to balance all the three doshas - Vatta, Pitta and Kapha, making it a tridoshic food. Apart from calming the body and detoxifying it is nutritionally dense too which helps to improve energy, immunity and digestion. Rice is considered as the moon in Ayurveda.
☘ Importance in Scriptures
✒ In the Scriptures, Rice is considered a symbol of the moon. Similarly Kali Urad Dal is considered a symbol of Saturn and Salt is considered a symbol of Venus. Turmeric is the symbol of Jupiter. Green vegetables belongs to Mercury. The heat of Khichdi connects the person to Mars and the Sun. In this way, eating the Khichdi makes all the major planets strong. It is believed that the body remains healthy for the whole year by eating Khichdi of new grains on the day of Makar Sankranti.
This is all about Khichdi's relation to the festival of Makar Sankranti😊

EK ne yeh risk liya tha in KZK with Mr Bajaj being good for Prerna, she had hard time convincing audience of Anu-Pre being star-crossed lovers thereafter
And I am talking about old KZK, new wale mein toh everyone openly bashed Anu's toxic ways & love, show bhi nahi chala kuchh khaas
Bahut dangerous slope hai yeh of showing 3rd angle as positive. Audience, fans divide ho jate hai, 2 groups ban jate hai of each ship & the other's fans quit the show when they make 3rd angle leave, so the makers lose on viewership
I guess thats why most shows take same old route after a while, to make 3rd angle negative
Accha Mr Bajaj good tha, I think usne Prerna ki majboori ka fayda utha ke ussi pehli baar shaadi ki thi, ha baad mein better ho gaya hoga. But usme Anuraag ko shuru se end tak dhoka hi Mila, 3heroine mili, ek prerna jo majboori ke naam pe dusre se shaadi kar li, dusri Komolika jisko sirf apni hi padi thi, teesri aparna(if I m not wrong) jisne uska hi murder karne ki koshish ki. Anuraag bechare ko toh sab se dhoka hi mila, Maa se, Lover se, Biwiyoon se, aur pata nahi kin-kin se. Sab uske trust ka advantage lete the, aur ussi ki according woh react karta tha, jahan tak maine suna ya padha hain, but not sure.
I don't think aaj ke generation aisa sochti hain, they know better kisko choose karna chahiye aur kisko nahi. If they show both of them good and correct at their place, also execute the whole track in better way then mujhe nahi lagta fans will divide or quit.

From what I have read/understood, Anurag ne apni mom ke emotional blackmail mein aa kar Komolika se shaadi ki thi, even though Anu-Pre had already consummated their love, he was quite spineless, kabhi stand nahi leta tha, always doubted & misunderstood Pre. Mr Bajaj always supported her whenever Anu betrayed her for xyz reason, so fans divide ho gaye the as in which is more healthier relationship for Pre.
Same hota hai in 3rd angles, dono positive ho toh comparison starts as in which is a healthier relationship option. ML thoda toh flawed hoga hi, intense at times. Ab both can't continue forever, so one of them will leave eventually, tab their fans quit the show coz woh uss ship ke liye hi dekhte the.

Mujhe khud nahi pata, actually hua kya tha uss show mein. But ek YouTube mein kisi ne bahut bada sa comment likha tha telling complete story of KZK1 when new KZK promo was released.
If they show both ML and FL both correct at their place and wrong at the same time for each other, after that introduce 3rd angle then maybe fans will not quit. But mostly they show one lead right other wrong, after that introduces 3rd angle who is good, then chances are high that fans will quit.
