“Wishing The Bright Sky And The Rising Sun On This Makar Sankranti Fill Your Lives With Prosperity, Wealth, And Joy.”
Makar Sankranti is one of the major festivals of the Hindu Region. This festival is celebrated on the 14th of January or the 15th of January (as per the Hindu calendar) every year. It is a festival that is widely celebrated across the country with different names. Rajasthan and Gujarat are among the top states in India to celebrate this festival by flying kites. In addition to flying kites, people enjoy several social activities like dancing, singing, and homemade delicacies (Laddu) that are made with till ( sesame seed).
Different regions celebrate this festival with different styles. In some states, it is the new harvest season, while others see it as the transition of the sun from Sagittarius to Capricorn. In Rajasthan, people wait for a year to fly kites, and in Maharastra married women gifts to other married women with oil, cotton, and salt as a part of the Makar Sankranti tradition. It is a belief that it marks the end of cold waves and the beginning of warmer and longer days.
People celebrate Makar Sankranti by offering their utmost gratitude towards the sun. Unlike most Hindu festivals which are based on the lunar calendar, this festival follows the solar calendar. Makar means Capricorn and Sankranti means movement of the sun that signifies a change. This is believed as one of the most auspicious occasions as per Hinduism.
The International Kite Festival originated in the modern era. The majority of Indians and kite flyers from various parts of the world celebrate it. It is the day of competition where people compete against each other in kite flying.
Let us gather and celebrate the kite festival with utmost joy and happiness. On this auspicious occasion, we wish you’re blessed with more positivity and prosperity in life and more hopes for the future.
