Even while all Hindus and members of other castes help prepare for Maghe Sankranti, the excitement surrounding it has grown in the Terai's Tharu and Magar settlements, where it is regarded as the principal festival. This celebration is also known as "Tilaskrayat" and "Makar Sakrayat" in the dialect of the ancient Mithila region, which includes Mahottari.
People can be seen cooking meat dishes for the holiday in the Tharu communities of this region, including fish, mutton, duck, and chicken, according to their traditions. Since a few days ago, the Tharu community has seen an upsurge in the preparation of meat's "joho" since it becomes a special meal during the celebration. In Tharu settlements, the celebrations of the festival has already begun, despite the fact that it has grown very cold and that the place is being covered in thick rain.
Similar to this, the Magar community, which has heavily populated the Bardiwas, Aurhi, and Gaushala municipal sections of the district, has expanded preparations for the Maghe Sankranti celebration. On the Maghe Sankranti holiday, the Magar caste has a tradition of honoring daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, nieces, nephews, and close friends. In the northern part of Mahottari, the Bardibas and Gaushala municipalities have a significant Magar population.
"Now you have to take care of everything," said Nagina Singh Tharu of Bhangaha Municipality-7 Meghrol, "as I am busy gathering paddy for Chiura." "When the festival draws nearer, there is a greater rush to gather sardam (festival necessities) from each home in the Tharu village."_RSS
