New Delhi: Makar Sankranti 2026 arrives on January 14, bringing with it blue skies, warm sunlight, and rooftops filled with flying kites. The festival

\n\n

marks the Sun’s northward journey, known as Uttarayan, symbolising longer days, renewal, and gratitude for the harvest season. Across India, especially in Gujarat, kite flying becomes a shared celebration of hope, joy, and togetherness, turning homes and neighbourhoods into lively spaces filled with colour and movement.

Decorating homes with kite-inspired elements adds to the festive energy. Beyond tradition, kites represent freedom, good fortune, and the end of winter’s heaviness. Thoughtful decor using kites, flowers, lights, and rangoli helps create a cheerful atmosphere, making Makar Sankranti gatherings feel warmer, brighter, and deeply connected to cultural roots.

Add kite shapes to rangoli designs or integrate them within traditional patterns. Using bright powders enhances the festive mood at entrances and courtyards.

7. Flower and light accents

Pair kites with marigolds, lotus flowers, and green leaves. Brass diyas, fairy lights, or star curtain lights add warmth and glow, especially during evening celebrations.

8. Kite-themed table decor

$\"This$ \n

Use small painted kites as place card holders or scatter them across dining tables. Themed banners help anchor the decor and keep the festive focus intact.

Kite-themed decorations capture the spirit of Makar Sankranti beautifully. With colour, light, and simple handmade elements, homes can reflect the joy of Uttarayan and the promise of brighter days ahead.
