Happy Makar Sankranti! One of the most important harvest days in India, the festival of Uttarayan marks the day when winter begins to turn into summer, signaling to farmers that the harvest season is approaching. In Gujarat, kites fill the skies as whole families gather on the rooftops to compete against their neighbors. We hope this harvest season brings you and your family lots of good luck, prosperity and happiness! #happyuttrayan #happyuttarayan2020 #makarsankranti #gujarat #gujarattourism #kiteflying #kitefestival #uttarayn #maghbihu #internationalkitefestival #lohri #pongal #desaifoundation #harvest #amitabhbachchan
