Picture yourself watching countless vibrant kites turn the sky into an endless canvas. A silhouette speckled with vibrant splashes of colour as kites of all colours, shapes, and sizes shoot over the azure blue. This, my friend, is a snapshot of Ahmedabad’s International Kite Festival, hosted on the day of Makar Sankranti!

Makar Sankranti is a major harvest festival observed by Hindus throughout India that occurs in the month of January. Makar Sankranti is observed differently around the country, and the cultural importance of the holiday varies geographically, with each commemorating the new harvest season in its unique style.
