Makar Sankranti
Last week we celebrated in Jaipur Makar Sankranti festival. This day (Januray 14) marks the day of transition of the Sun from Sagittarius to Capricorn during the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. On that day people take religious baths, go to the temples and give in charity. Here in Jaipur it is also known as the Kite Festival! Everyone flies kites and it is taken up with great seriousness!
