Makar sankranti has many names as Makar Sankranti in Rajasthan, Andhra, and Haryana etc. In Gujrat it is called Uttaryan; In Himachal, Punjab it is called Maghi; In Tamil it is celebrated as Pongal; In Assam valley, this day is called magh Vihu.

  In Ravai, Magh tyauhar has very important place in its culture. Magh tyauhar songs are sung by male and females from first day of Paush till first day of Magh. The women come back to their mayka (parental village) and all those girls/women enjoy the month by singing different songs in houses. Males also participate in these Magh tyauhar dances and songs

Here are two popular songs of Magh tyauhar sung in the month of Posh in Ravai region of Garhwal
