In addition to flying kites, Northern Indians commemorate this holiday by serving traditional delicacies like gajak, chikki, and til ladoos. In the Hindu calendar, Makar Sankranti is considered to be one of the most auspicious days. The sun, or Surya, is the day’s patron deity. The festival is scheduled for January 15 of this year. Although it is celebrated in many ways across the nation, if you are apart from your friends and family, send them these Happy Makar Sankranti wishes and pictures to let them know you are thinking of them.
