Get ready to string up those kites and dive into the sweetness of Makar Sankranti. A significant Hindu festival observed every year, its roots trace back to the Vedic texts, including the sacred Gayatri Mantra from the Rigveda. This occasion is celebrated across India with various multi-day festivities. It includes a burst of social festivities, from colourful decorations and joyful kite flying to lively fairs, bonfires and sumptuous feasts. In some regions, children go door-to-door singing songs and collecting treats, adding to the festive spirit.
