Tilak is considered a mandate in Hinduism before beginning any new work, especially on special occasions. Wearing a tilak or bindi(for women) not only serves to decorate the forehead in an auspicious way, but it also serves as a reminder that, above all other forms of life, the human body is a priceless vessel that allows one to actively engage in spiritual pursuits. Because the body is what enables one to do selfless service, maintaining one's physical health should be regarded as a sacred activity.  Several Hindu scriptures describe tilak as a method of re-centering one's spiritual focus

The spiritual meaning of the season denotes the end of the days of ignorance and the beginning of a new era. Goddess Saraswati, an emblem of tranquility and peace, bestows spiritual enlightenment upon her devotees on this day. Her four goddess-like hands stand for the brain, mind, attentiveness, and ego. She flies on a swan because, according to Hindu mythology, this bird has a curious ability to separate milk from water. Therefore, it suggests that a man who worships Saraswati should be able to distinguish between good and bad.

India is famously known for its festivals and the Indian zest with which they are celebrated. Makar Sankranti is the festival that marks the beginning of the New Year.

यह तब हुई जब एक बार भृगु ऋषि के मन में यह विचार उत्पन्न हुआ की त्रिदेवो में सर्वश्रेष्ठ कौन से देव है। इसलिए उन्होंने तीनों देवों की परीक्षा लेने का विचार किया, सबसे पहले वह ब्रह्मलोक में गए वहां जाकर उन्होंने ब्रह्मा जी को प्रणाम नहीं किया यह देख कर ब्रह्मा जी को उन पर क्रोध आया। तब भृगु ऋषि भगवान शंकर के पास गये लेकिन भगवान शंकर अपनी समाधि में लीन थे.................................
