Summary
DescriptionA night lit up on Makar Sankranti Uttarayana Festival with Kites and Lights India.jpg | Every 14th of January, people in India celebrate the festival of Makar Sakranti to mark the transition of sun into the zodiac sign of Capricorn (Makar rashi in Hindi, hence the name). In my home state of Gujarat, this festival is called "Uttarayana". One of the main activities associated with this festival is kite flying. During the day, the sky of Ahmedabad is filled with kites that are so numerous that it creates a serious hazard for birds. The rooftops or all buildings are absolutely packed with people taking part in this annual activity and for most of the day, noise all across the city is deafening. But as the night falls, the kites in the sky give way to sky lanterns. As darkness prevails, the city comes alive with the lights of stunning lanterns slowing ascending into the sky. I hope I have been able to capture and justify this beautiful moment in this photograph. |
