Uttarayan, also known as Makar Sakranti, is the day when the sun starts to travel northwards marking the decline of winter. The days become longer, the skies clearer and the breeze cooler. As millions of kite enthusiasts pitch themselves at the rooftops, waves of flying kites overwhelm an otherwise deep blue sky. On January 14, the sky changes colours like a rainbow in a glittering sun.
Std. 8 students made colourful kites of different colours and sizes.
