Newlywed's First Makar Sankranti: What to Offer? Avoid This Common Mistake!

• First Makar Sankranti after marriage is special for newlyweds, involving 'Haldi-Kumkum' and 'halwa' ornaments.
• Traditionally, a Haldi-Kumkum casket is considered highly auspicious for the first offering, symbolizing health and marital bliss.
• Other traditional offerings include adornment items like glass bangles, bindis, mirrors, or combs, and 'Sugad Puja' grain offerings for prosperity.
• The Haldi-Kumkum casket honors 'female power' and seeks blessings from Adishakti for the home.
• Offerings should be given respectfully, supported by the saree pallu, after applying turmeric and vermilion.

Why It Matters: Newlyweds should prioritize traditional Haldi-Kumkum and auspicious items for their first Makar Sankranti offering.
