Many Hindu festivals are aligned with seasonal changes and agricultural cycles, celebrating the bounty of nature. These festivals encourage the consumption of seasonally appropriate foods that not only honor the occasion but also align with Ayurvedic principles for maintaining health. For example, during Makar Sankranti, a festival marking the sun's northward journey, foods made from sesame seeds and jaggery are consumed. These ingredients are considered beneficial for warming the body during the colder months, promoting physical well-being.
