Ever wondered why kite flying is such a big part of Makar Sankranti?

The festival marks the sun’s transition into Capricorn, longer days, and the end of harsh winters.

Families gather on rooftops to enjoy the warmth of the sun, fly kites, and spend quality time together.

Kites also symbolise new hopes, fresh dreams, and the desire to rise higher in the new year.

So this Makar Sankranti, don’t forget to fly a kite and celebrate the spirit of new beginnings.
