While Makar Sankranti is a festival in the Hindu calendar which is dedicated to the Sun deity Surya, 'Magh Bihu' is when the annual harvest takes place.
"Wishing you all a very happy and prosperous Makar Sankranti full of colours of nature, tradition and culture," he tweeted.
Pongal is a four-day harvest festival dedicated to the Sun God. "Pongal greetings to everyone. May this festival fill everyone's lives with abundant prosperity. May everyone be blessed with good health," Modi said in another tweet.
