The Flight Of Colours It’s that time of year when the sky is lit up with colours and smiles. When the clouds dance with threads and the melody of laughter mingles with the air. A thousand kites sway with the wind. One set of hands leads the thread and the other set allows the reel to flow. If you still haven’t figured it out, it’s the festival of Sankranti, Hyderabad’s favourite festival. Sankranti has a beautiful and rich history to it. This festival is in the honour of the deity Surya, the sun and it is also known as Makara Sankranti. The people of India and Nepal celebrate their harvest on this lovely day. The delightful festival is celebrated in different parts of India and is known through different names. It is called Maghi in Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, Magh Bihu in Assam, Sukarat in central India, and Makara Sankranti in some parts of South and North India. -By Umera Riyaz
