In the southern part of Assam ( which comprises districts like Cachar, Hailakandi etc) Makad Sankranti is considered as one of the greatest festival. Peaople make tents using bushes and celebrate inside it the previous night. In early morning of 15th January they take bath and burn the tents and feel the warmth. It is believed that the fire takes with it all the sin. Then in the day, guests visit and they are provided with pitha (sweet dishes made from rice powder, coconut, sugar etc).
