Makar Sankranti is a popular festival celebrated in India.
Each year, Makar Sankranti marks the transition of the sun into the zodiac sign of Capricorn on January 14th.
One of the most important rituals is taking a holy dip in rivers, especially in the Ganges, Yamuna, Godavari, and the Kaveri.
It is celebrated all over India, but Jaipur's Kite Festival or Makar Sankranti has a special place in its festival calendar.
The festival is also known by different names in different parts of India, such as Pongal in Tamil Nadu, Maghi in Haryana and Punjab, and Bihu in Assam.
