UNFORGETTABLE MAKAR SANKRANTI WITH SWAMINI SAREE

 



New beginnings are filling our lives. And in India, we have meaning behind every celebration. Makar Sankranti is the first true auspicious festival to be celebrated with gusto.  

At Swamini Saree – Sadiyon Ki Maharani, the single three-storied spacious AC showroom in Bizzyland Building, Phadtare Chowk, Kumthekar Road, has a range of sarees for every occasion, from traditional to designer & fancy, wedding, unique Paithanis & nauvaris, daily wear, and genuine Silkmark.

CELEBRATING MAKAR SANKRANTI

Makar Sankranti truly is all about the movement of the sun which marks the change of season. The sun moves from Makar or Capricorn sign into Cancer. This movement from Dakshinayana to Uttarayana is celebrated as Makar Sankranti.

Environmentally, the cold winters ends and brings in the start of spring. Brightness & optimism replaces dullness & hopelessness. It is also the time when many parts of India go into the harvest mode. Thus, Makar Sankranti becomes an occasion for the farming community to celebrate their hardwork.

As per Lord Krishna in Bhagvad Gita, the six months of Dakshinayana is the night of gods, while the six months of Uttarayana is the day of the gods. If someone sacrifices his body in Dakshinayana, he or she is reborn in Krishna Lok and gets moksha. If the person dies during Uttarayana, he or she is reborn.

Since Uttarayana is associated with gods and good work, the whole atmosphere gets a touch of
spirituality. Anyone with spiritual bend can achieve Sadhana on this day.

Lord Surya or Sun God is worshipped on this day. It is said that the river Ganga finally fell on earth on this day thanks to the efforts of King Bhagirath. A dip in the Ganga or any holy river on this day is considered good. Another story is associated with Lord Shani who is also worshipped on this day with his father Lord Surya. The father-son never got along but met on this day.

Various regions in India celebrate in their own unique way. Punjabis celebrate it as Lohri in which they have bonfire at night. Pongal in Tamil Nadu has the people celebrate the rice & sugarcane harvest. In Gujarat, the kite festival attracts crowd from all over. In Maharashtra, you see married women come together for Haldi-Kunku and gift each other presents.

Special food gets prepared. In fact, food items made from jaggery and sesame are specially made. Their health benefits combat the winter troubles. Maharashtra celebrates Makar Sankranti by making puran poli and sesame items like ladoos and papdi. We hear the phrase ‘Til Gul Ghya Ani God, God Bola’. It means have sesame and jaggery and talk sweet things.  


The colour Black comes into the scene which is a taboo colour in Hinduism. Makar Sankranti happens to be the last day of solstice and the coldest. Since black attracts heat, it helps keep you warmer. And that is why many wear black attire on this day.

Many women do not have black sarees in the wardrobe due to the inauspicious note attached to the colour. But Makar Sankranti is the one day to wear it without worry. Newly-married girls buy black saree to wear on this occasion.

And at Swamini Saree, black sarees in various traditional. Fancy / designer sarees are sold in huge numbers. The plush showroom is proud of being ahead in keeping the fresh stock from all varieties. This year, you can find exquisite & exclusive Banaras Sarees, Kolkata Sarees and Fancy & Designer Sarees as per preference and budget. In fact, the preparation for getting the sarees starts two months earlier.

On the occasion of Makar Sankranti, we, at Swamini Saree – Sadiyon Ki Maharani, wish you good beginnings and success. May your life thrive on positivity all the time! Come over to our showroom to pick sarees not just for this positive occasion but every good moment in your life. If it is saree shopping, it has to be Swamini shopping.

The Untold Story of Maratha Queen Tarabai: A Warrior, Mother, and Leader

  Tarabai Bhosale, the wife of Chhatrapati Rajaram Bhosale and daughter-in-law of the renowned Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, reigned as queen from 1700-1708 and again from 1710-1713. Following her husband's death, Tarabai took control of the Maratha Empire and demonstrated her strength as a ruler by fiercely defending her kingdom against hostile foes. She was also the daughter of Maratha General Hambirao Mohite and Mainabai, and was born in 1675. Despite growing up amidst war and conflict, she was a brave and intelligent child. Her father was a trusted confidante of Shivaji, playing a pivotal role in the establishment of the Maratha Empire, and Tarabai learned values of courage, loyalty, and patriotism from him and his comrades. In 1689, Tarabai wed Rajaram Bhosale, but his sudden death in 1700 cut his reign short, leaving Tarabai as the sole leader of the Maratha Empire. Tarabai was not shaken by the daunting task before her, taking immediate charge of the kingdo...
