Patna: Makar Sankranti is celebrated in Bihar on Saturday. About one lakh devotees from all parts of the country have arrived in Mandar, the confluence of three religions present in the Banka district. Devotees took a dip of faith in the holy Papharni Lake early in the morning in the freezing cold. Such a supernatural sight has been seen after 3 years. There was no corner of Mandar where there is no crowd of people present.

Since Saturday morning, devotees took a bath in the Papaharni Lake and circumambulated Mandar Mountain. Also, devotees of the Hindu, Safa, and Jain religions took baths together. The Anga, Banga, and Santal communities also took a dip in the Papaharni lake. Although Makar Sankranti is on Sunday, some people are celebrating this festival only on January 14. Despite the severe cold in Mandar, there is no decrease in the enthusiasm of the devotees and from 2:30 am, the devotees started bathing in the Papharni Lake. There was a crowd of people in Mandar. Every part of the mountain is covered with white robes. The Guru's teachings were recited to devotees from all over the country in the presence of Gurumata Rekha Hembram near Safadharma Temple.  

For the safety of devotees, about a 15-member team is providing security to the people on 4 boats of ISDRF from Patna in Papaharni Sarovar. At the same time, the disaster management team is monitoring the people by setting up camps there. Now 15 divers are also stationed at the spot. This time, two big tents have been set up at the administrative level in Mandar. Along with this, bonfires have also been arranged for the devotees in view of the cold. There is a fair around Parharni Lake. For the convenience of the people, the devotees got a lot of convenience from the lights.
