Makar Sankranti celebration (Kite festival)

Makar Sankranti or Uttarayan or Maghi or simply Sankranti, is a festival day in the Hindu calendar, dedicated to the deity Surya.
The festival of Makar Sankranti is considered to be extremely auspicious because it marks the first day of the sun's transition into the sun sign Capricorn or Makara in Hindi.
