Kite Festival

Every year on January 14, India celebrates kite flying to signal the start of spring and the sun’s entry into the Makara Rashi. Makar Sankranti is regarded as an important harvest festival in several Indian states. Its significance stems from the fact that it celebrates the victory of the goddess Sankranti over evil and the vicious Rakshasa Sankarasur, who would torment and murder humanity.

Also, it is a festival where people unite in celebration and bury their grudges while exchanging sweets in a happy environment. You may learn all about the Indian kite-flying festival in this article and contact us to arrange a visit to see the show in person.

HOW IS INDIA CELEBRATING THE KITE FLYING FESTIVAL?

Makar Sankranti is a joyous and enjoyable holiday. The kite flying festival has historical and cultural significance, just like many other Indian holidays. There are two key reasons why you should attend this festival.

To begin with, nothing compares to the feeling of flying colourful kites in the early morning sun from a rooftop with your loved ones or friends. It is impossible to compare the thrill of flying a kite and snapping the strings of another kite, and the celebratory spirit is thrilling. It is customary to present your loved ones a Til-Gul Laddoo at this holiday (a confection made of sesame seeds and jaggery). The Marathi saying “Eat these Til-Gul sweets and talk pleasant words” is also known as “Til-Gul ghya aani goad bol bola”.

Owing to the popularity of the kite-flying tradition, amateur competitions are often held during this event. It would be so amazing to be the last person standing. or even better, to be the one to fly the last kite!
