Being a Nepali and grown up in a typical Nepali Society, the "Maghe Sankrati" also known as maghi is prestigious festival celebrated throughout the whole country.
The specialties of the festival is all the good food including ghee, yam, and sweets like Chaku and the holy dip into the holy rivers. It is quite alike to festival Chhath.
