Why kites have a whole month of celebration?

Kites have a whole month of celebration, particularly in regions like Gujarat, India, during the festival of Makar Sankranti, to mark the transition of the sun into the zodiac sign of Capricorn. This vibrant celebration, often referred to as the Kite Festival, symbolizes the harvest season and the end of winter. People engage in kite flying competitions, showcasing their skills and creativity while fostering community spirit. The event also reflects cultural traditions and brings families and friends together to celebrate joy and renewal.
