Makar Sankranti and ‘patangbazi’ go hand in hand since forever. The festival falls in the Hindu month of Magha and marks the first day of the sun's transit into Makara rashi (Capricorn). Key observances include Suryan Pujan (worship of Sun deity), kite flying, bonfires and eating lots of til ke laddoo and other yummy delicacies. Speaking of sweetness, Makar Sankranti also means exchanging heart-warming wishes and greetings of the day with family and friends.
