This project study was undertaken to document the different ways of celebrating the festival of Makar Sankranti across the country. The festival has layered concepts and significance as we move from state to state. The ways to celebrate also change along with food, music and dances. Even after so many significant differences, the common thing to observe is that all the cultures celebrate this festival to honour and worship the Sun God called Surya Dev, Agni Dev or so many other names as they use to describe it. Since it revolves around the Sun God, fire is the key element in the celebration. The day also denotes the closing of harvest season and is used to develop bonding between families and communities.
