Students were also told about the various ways in which this festival is celebrated throughout our country – Lohri in North India, Pongal in South, Uttarayan in Gujarat, and Makar Sankranti in Maharashtra.  The direction of wind, change of season, health advantages of vitamin D and consuming calcium rich sesame seeds and jaggery laddoos were all explained to the students as scientific reasons behind the old traditions related to the festival.
