The auspicious festival of Makar Sankranti is harmoniously celebrated across the country on the 14th or 15th of January every year. This occasion marks the transition of the sun from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere and hence is observed as a festival of new beginnings and harvest. It also holds significance due to the transition of the sun into the Zodiac Sign Capricorn and thus the name Makar (Hindi Name for the Zodiac Sign Capricorn) Sankranti (transmigration of the sun from one Zodiac sign to another) came into prevalence.

The festival of Makar Sankranti and the festivities associated with it are called by various names across India. Regionally it is referred to as Maghi in Punjab, Magh Bihu in Assam, Uttarayan in Gujarat, Pongal in Tamil Nadu, and other names, but it is a pan India Solar Festival. The festival of Makar Sankranti in India is an occasion to express our deepest gratitude to the Supreme Lord for providing us with all necessities to have a bountiful harvest.

In India, every festival is celebrated with utmost excitement and optimism. These festivals are not only celebrated for cultural or religious significance but to also bring together friends and family. As part of the tradition of Makar Sankranti, people clean and decorate their houses with flowers, leaves, rangoli, and lights to signify prosperity and newness and indulge in the goodness of sweets and savories, and last but not least the adventurous game of Kite Flying.
