Welcome Friends to this wonderful kite Festival

Happy Makar Sankranti/ Lohari/ Pongal/Maghi/ Utrayan to All enjoy.

Friends Makar Sankarnti is celebrated in all regions of India. Kumbh mela is arranged that day when over million ppl go there to take holy plunge into Ganga sagar and prayag and prays to Sun God. It is celebrated with the name pongal, Sankrantm, Lohari and many other names. In Gujrat It is called Utrayan means  Sun asecends and enters northen hemisphere. We gujaratis celebrate it by flying kites in the sky. It is like sending flowers to deity. instead of flowers we use kites trying to reach Sun to welcome his entering  in northern hemispere. For many it is beginning of harvest season. But most of all it is a day to help poor and needy with donation of food, clothes, money or other items.any one wants to know more about it here is the link
