Wishing you and your family a very Happy Makar Sankranti.

 Makar Sankranti is a Hindu festival which is celebrated on 14th January every year. Makar (Capricorn) is a Hindu zodiac sign and Sankranti means to change direction. Makar Sankranti is also known as the festival of kites and is celebrated to mark the end of the winter season and commemorate the upcoming harvest season. Largely celebrated in North India, Makar Sankranti is observed to pay homage and thank the Sun God, Surya for blessing the harvest with useful and effective resources.

Makar Sankranti Festival is celebrated enthusiastically in all parts of India. In north India, people take holy baths in the Ganges, donate rice and dal(lentil) and they also prepare Khichdi (a rice dish). The festival is a celebration of the human spirit and the joy of life. It is a time when family and friends come together and celebrate. During this festival, people take a dip into the holy rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari, Krishna as they believe it will wash away the human sins. People also prepare scrumptious meals and rejoice the festival together by flying beautiful kites from the terraces of their homes.
