The people of India are all geared up to celebrate the festival of 'Makar Sankranti' with great festivity on Saturday, 14 January, 2017.

Lakhs of devotees thronged the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and mythical river Saraswati in Allahabad to take a holy dip on the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti.

As per Hindu traditions, the sun enters the tropic of Capricorn, known as 'makar rekha' in Sanskrit, from 'dhanu rekha' (tropic of Sagittarius) on this day and hence the festival is termed 'Makar Sankranti'.

The Sankranti festival is celebrated all across India with various names.

In Tamil Nadu, people celebrate Sankranti as Pongal while in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka it is observed as Bhogi.

People also exchange greetings on this day. To greet each other on the auspicious day of Makar Sankranti, people send Makar Sankranti SMS, messages and Makar Sankranti scraps.

Here are some Makar Sankranti SMS, messages and scraps for your loved ones:
