Makar Sankranti or मकर संक्रांति or Maghi is one of the very ancient Indian festivals that is celebrated in reference to the divine God Surya or Sun, in accordance to the solar cycles. It is celebrated mostly on 14th of January every year, however the dates may vary a bit depending on the transit of Sun and Hindu calendars.
Makara stands for Capricorn that marks the end of winter months with a fresh start of longer sunny days again. The festival has different names all across the country. North Indians celebrate the festival of Lohri to celebrate this day, while South Indians celebrate Pongal, and similarly Assamese celebrate Magh Bihu. One festival but many names and celebrated differently all across. But the divine presence of the festival is associated with one and all.
Colorful decorations, Songs, Bonfires, Dance, Treats, Kite flying, and Feasts are few of the engagements that we all engage in to observe the festival and make it festive. The love and harmony spreads across the nation with kites flying high in the sky, the sun rising up in the sky, and the bonfires lighting up the entire environment.

It is said that offering prayers to the Sun and bathing in the holy river is considered to be a sacred thing. The festival is being dedicated to Lord Sun, and the significance of Sun can be seen on the solar cycles with an interchanging seasons.
