Sankranti (India) (14/20)

Makar Sankranti is a major Hindu festival celebrated in January, marking the transition of the sun into Capricorn. It is a time of thanksgiving for the harvest, with people flying colorful kites, enjoying special foods like sesame sweets, and giving thanks for the bounty of the earth. In many regions of India, it’s also a time for people to visit temples and offer prayers of gratitude for the year’s blessings.
