Maghe Sankranti or Magh

Maghe Sankranti is observed on the first day of the Nepalese calendar's Magh months. It marks the beginning of the holy month, which is normally around the middle of January. The festival wishes to bring an end to the chilly season and wishes for warmer weather as well as greater health and fortune. On this day, families gather to share great meals. Tradition dictates that people consume sesame seed sweets, ghee, molasses, sweet potatoes, and yams.

Furthermore, the Tharu community in Terai celebrates Maghi- The New Year on the same day. They celebrate by gathering with family, eating great delicacies, visiting Melas, and dressing up in traditional attire.
