One winter festival which marks the start of new season is called by so many names, and in every culture the food prepared is essentially Khichdi (Lentil & Rice preparation) both Sweet (traditionally with Jaggery) and Spicy varieties. The festival traditionally involved eating sweets made of Sesame-Jaggery in all cultures. No matter what you call by name the festival is celebrated all over with similarity.
