Makar Sankranti is being celebrated today, January 14, across India. In states like Gujarat and Rajasthan, people celebrate Sankranti by flying kites and making special dishes. It is believed that flying kites on Makar Sankranti serves as an awakening alarm for the gods who had been resting throughout the winter season.
