The
observance of Sankranti in Gujarat is more or less the same as in Maharashtra.
In addition, there is also a custom of giving gifts to
relatives. The elders in the family give gifts to
the younger members of the family. Gujarati Pundits on this auspicious day
grant scholarships to students for higher
studies in astrology and philosophy. This festival is thus an
important way to maintain the social relationships within the family, caste and
community.
