Makara Sankranti is an important pan-Indian solar festival, known by different names like Pedda Panduga, Pongal, Bihu, Maghara Valaku, and other names.
Every year Makar Sankranti is celebrated in January. For most parts of India, this period is a part of the early stages of the Rabi crop and agricultural cycle, where crops have been sown and the hard work in the fields is mostly over. The time thus signifies a period of socializing and families enjoying each other's company, taking care of the cattle, and celebrating around bonfires. A shared cultural practice found amongst various parts of India is making sticky, bound sweets particularly from sesame and a sugar base such as jaggery. This type of sweet is a symbolism for being together in peace and joyfulness, despite the uniqueness and differences between individuals. The festival is celebrated by flying kites.
A scene from my window. The sky is full of kites and everyone is playing music on their roof. Most awaited festival if you are in Jaipur ❤️
(The sky is not grey, it is window 😅)
Night sky full of the light lamp, it is the most beautiful scene I had ever seen, I am in awe😍😍😍😍
The night before we celebrate Lohri, it was only me and PR and no bonfire because of COVID (social distancing).
