It’s celebrated as the harvest festival across India, marking the transition of the Sun into Capricorn (Makar) and the start of longer, warmer days. Sharing the stories and traditions of Makar Sankranti with your kids is a wonderful way to help them connect with nature and our rich heritage. Let’s explore this festival in all its colorful glory!
What is Makar Sankranti?
Makar Sankranti marks the end of the winter solstice and the beginning of longer days as the Sun enters the Capricorn zodiac (Makar Rashi). It is one of the few Hindu festivals that follows the solar calendar, always celebrated on January 14th or 15th.
