Makar
Sankranti is an Indian festival celebrated in almost all parts of India
and Nepal in lots of cultural forms. It is a harvest festival.
Makar Sankranti marks the transition of the Sun into the zodiac sign of Makara (Capricorn) on its celestial path. The day is also believed to mark the arrival of spring in India and is a traditional event. Makara Sankranthi is a solar event making one of the few Indian festivals which fall on the same date in the Gregorian calendar every year: 14 January, with some exceptions when the festival is celebrated on 15 January. At Kic, we celebrate by flying a lot Kites and we wish all of our friends- a very happy and Joyous Sankrantri!!
