Makar Sankranti 2025  

Makar Sankranti 2025 falls on January 14th. Celebrate the harvest festival with traditional treats like Tilgul, Pongal, and Gajak, which not only offer delightful flavours but also hold deep spiritual significance.

India celebrates Makar Sankranti, a major harvest festival, marking the Sun's transition into Capricorn (Makar Rashi). It's a time of joy, renewal, and, of course, food. Every region prepares specific traditional foods, many of which carry deep cultural and health significance, especially in the winter season.
 

During Makar Sankranti, the skies of India come alive with vibrant kites. This tradition goes beyond mere recreation; it carries deep cultural, social, and spiritual significance.

Makar Sankranti, a prominent Hindu festival celebrated across India and parts of South Asia, marks the transition of the Sun into the zodiac sign of Capricorn (Makara) and signifies the end of the winter solstice. Falling in mid-January, it is one of the few Hindu festivals aligned with the solar calendar, making its date relatively constant each year.
