Makar Sankranti

May you always soar high up in life like

the vibrant kites that fly in the sky!

Happy Makar Sankranti!

India is a land of festivals. Makar Sankranti is the festival of worship, food, kite flying and joy. This auspicious occassion is celebrated every year on 14th January depending upon the solar cycle. The meaning of the word Makar Sankranti comes from two words Makar and Sankranti. The meaning of Makar is Capricorn, and the meaning of Sankranti is the transition.

The main cuisine of this festival is a dish made from seasme and jaggery that adds sparkle to the festival.

Kite flying is also a great part of the festival and during the day the whole family enjoys kite flying. The sky is filled with a lot of colourful kites with interesting designs.

Soaking in the spirit of the festival, the Pre Primary wing of RPS International School, Sector 50, Gurugram celebrated the festival with great enthusiasm and fervour through the virtual platform. The significance of the festival was explained to the students through a short story followed by a ‘Kite making’ and ‘Kite decorating’ craft. It was indeed a joyful day of learning for the children and they exhibited unparalleled excitement and actively participated in all activities.
