2014 has arrived and it
is time to go looking for the first festival of the first month of this new
year in India. Moving your fingers over the dates on a calendar, you will find
that on the 14th of January, this entire country will celebrate the
festival of kites. Offering a wonderful start to the year, many might have
already begun with buying colorful kites and strong kite-strings. Soon, one
will see hundreds of differently shaped, sized, and colored paper kites
covering the blue sky and each one taking their kites to new heights. To enjoy
this festival of Makar Sankranti at its best, you should plan a kite flying family holiday in India in the month of
January. Sankrant is celebrated on the 14th of January every year in
all the states of India, especially in Gujarat. So, if you wish to be a part of
this fascinating festival of kites, then pack your bags and head to Gujarat, to
be specific Surat, Ahmedabad, Vadodara, or Nadiad.
Every roof top in
Gujarat is covered with enthusiastic youngsters as well as adults, who actively
take part in kite flying. It is more of a competition that one group has with
another. They concentrate on taking their kites as high as possible and also
cutting the opponents string, which is a sign of victory during the festival. You
can also be a part of this beautiful festival along with your own kites and
string during your family vacation
in Gujarat in January. The festival is not only about flying kites throughout the
day, but also about relishing some delicious deserts that are specially made
during Sankrant. ‘Til gud laddoos’ are a famous treat during Makar Sankranti
that you can munch on in every house you visit on this day. Kite flying on 14th
January continues in the night as well, where paper lanterns are tied to the
kite strings and left to float high in the sky. With Magic Holidays – a Timeshare
product you can enjoy a wonderful holiday
package to Gujarat and experience the fun yourself!
