According to mythology, the sun god did not choose his son. Because of this, he separated Saturn from his mother's shadow. Due to the separation of mother and son, the sun god cursed leprosy. Yamaraj, the second son of Surya, was diagnosed with seeing the sun god suffering from leprosy. The sun was free from Yamraj's ailment. But Surya Dev burned the house and his mother's house in anger in anger. Saturn and shadow were saddened by this work of Surya Dev and then at the behest of Yamaraj, Surya Dev went to Saturn and his mother. When he went there, he saw that the whole house was burnt, but a moat remained. When Surya Dev came, Shiva worshiped him with this sesame and then Surya Dev made his second house Capricorn. From this day on, the importance of worshiping the sun with the sesame on the Makar Sankranti increased.
