Significance of Bhogi Celebration

People often need a push to declutter their life and begin afresh with a clean slate. Bhogi offers people this exact opportunity. Every year, the celebration of Bhogi mainly revolves around removing all the unwanted and unwarranted clutter in one’s home, throwing out the old things that no longer serve a purpose in one’s life and making space for newer, better things.

Bhogi is said to be the first day in the four-day celebration of Pongal in South India and Sankranti in Maharashtra. On this day, people clean out their homes, get rid of all that they no longer need and prepare for the new and happy beginnings and Puja of the next day. On the day after BHogi, people often wear new clothes and prepare various delicacies to celebrate this day and seek the blessings of the Gods and Goddess for an abundance of happiness, love and light.
