India is a land of festivals, and every day has its own significance, feelings, and customs. Makar Sankranti is significant among all joys because faith, seasonal change, and joyous celebration have been intertwined in perfect harmony. Celebrated with great enthusiasm throughout the country, the festival signifies the Sun's ingress into the zodiac sign Capricorn (called Makar in Sanskrit). It marks the end of the harsh winter and the arrival of longer and warmer days.
