 Makar Sankranti – 14 January 

 Makar Sankranti – also called the Kite Flying Festival – is an important Hindu festival celebrated in almost all parts of India (although called different names) giving people a reason to come together and celebrate after the cold winter months, and celebrate the start of spring.

•  Make and fly your own recycled kite. Use your kites to decorate your settings along with a large sun.

to catch the light.
