Makar Sankranti is here! It is time to get along with family and friends to relish in the traditional tastes and festivities. We are here to help you dress up in your Sankranti best.

The festive occasion of Sankranti announces the arrival of the new harvest season. It is set to be celebrated with traditional dances, feasting on delicious food, and gathering with friends and family.

The festival of Sankranti marks the transition of the Sun from zodiac Sagittarius to Capricorn. It also marks the movement of the sun from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere. But, most importantly, the festival marks a new beginning. This multi-day festival is celebrated to worship lord Sun. And much to all your surprise, celebrated especially dressed in the colour black.

Black..really? Yes, while the said colour is considered inauspicious and even banished on other Indian festivals, Sankranthi is known to dress you in black. This is because Sankranti marks the last day of the solstice and, hence, is the coldest day of winter. Black, known to absorb heat, is chosen to stay warm on this long winter day.
