We in AP too observe in a big way
Is it? I didn't know that. I thought it is only more famous in Gujarat because I have noticed in Rajathan and Maharastra, people there also enjoy kite festival but its not much like Gujarat.
Not only Kites, in this connexion there are cock fights too, in which people bet heavy amounts
In Bengal also we celebrate this day.We celebrate with making sweet dish called "pithe" made with rice flour,nolen gur and coconut.And it is called Makar sankranti.
For the entire South India Makara Sankranti is one of the biggest festivals celebrated with religious fervour and grandeur.
@Devyani. Yes it is always amazing to see sky full of kites.
@Sharmistha..Well, here we have few different but special dishes for the same day..
@Rambabu.. Cock fighting.. Sounds interesting, never seen anytime.
Yes cock fights though are banished, its still going in remote places where police cannot reach in AP
Well, in Gujarat Kite festival will be held on tomorrow, its great fun.
This is Lohri today for us. The children fly kites today here also but main kite flying in my area is on Basant Panchami day. But this day too is observed as kite flying day in many parts of north India.
Yes, depending on the region the festivities vary. In Hyderabad, Kite festivities are observed by all irrespective of religion.

Actually Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and Hindus they all participate in kite flying and even compete in who cuts more kites with one kite. They prepare special threads for the occasion.
