Makar Sankranti is one of the most widely celebrated Hindu festivals of India. It is a festival day in the Hindu calendar, dedicated to the sun deity Surya. It is observed every year in January, and marks the first day of the sun’s transit into Makara (Capricorn) raashi (zodiac sign), marking the end of the month with the winter solstice and the start of longer days. Makar Sankranti is associated with kite flying, dances, bonfires, fairs and mass pilgrimages to sacred rivers. The festivities related with Makar Sankranti are known by various names, such as Maghi (preceded by Lohri) by North Indian Hindus and Sikhs, Makara Sankranti (Pedda Pandaga) in Maharashtra, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Karnataka and Telangana, Sukarat in central India, Magh Bihu by Assamese, and Thai Pongal by Tamils.
