Makar Sankranti was celebrated on January 14 and 15 with traditional food, prayers, and family gatherings. From flying kites to savouring festive treats like til gud laddoos, khichdi and dahi-chuda, individuals
enjoyed the festivities with full fervour. On this occasion, kite flying remained the heart of the festival as families gathered on rooftops and open fields to mark the harvest festival.
But this Makar Sankranti, a young boy added a magical twist to the age-old celebration by flying a kite tied with glowing fairy lights. Yes, you read that correctly.
Kite Flies On Fairy Lights
Instead of using a regular kite thread, he attached tiny glowing lights to it, turning a familiar ritual into a breathtaking visual spectacle. As the sky filled with darkness, the illuminated thread shimmered against the dark sky, making the kite appear as if it were painting lines of light across the heavens.
The enchanting sight instantly caught the attention of onlookers and soon found its way onto social media. A video of the glowing kite was shared on Instagram, where it quickly went viral. The overlay text on the clip read, “When the night glows with Sankranti lights,” perfectly capturing the mood of the moment.
Social Media Showers The Post With Love
This simple idea lit up not just the night sky but also thousands of smiles online. Just like us, the internet users were amazed to see this unique creation. Social media users were quick to praise the creativity. They chimed into the comments section of the post and bombarded it with red heart and fire emojis.
