In India, the festival of Makar Sankranti is celebrated on January 14th.
January 14th is the date of Makar Sankranti in India, but this date varies each year because it is based on the Hindu calendar. The Hindu calendar is a lunisolar calendar that relies on both solar and lunar movements to determine when a new month begins. This means that a full moon occurs every month, but the dates of these full moons change from year to year.
The holiday is celebrated across India with various festivities and traditions. In some parts of India, such as Gujarat and Rajasthan, people celebrate by flying kites. These kites are decorated with bright colors and may have messages written on them for loved ones or enemies. It’s also common for people to eat sweets or other foods made from wheat flour at this time of year.
