Makar sankranti at Aurangabad















Makar sankranti has always been about flying kites for young and old.
Here are some pics of kite flying competition (peinch), where we are supposed to cut the opponent's kite with our own.












Even the girls joined in enthusiastically in what has traditionally been boy's domain.















Passion of the senior generation was also quite evident.















Enthusiasm of young one's was quite overwhelming, and elders were constantly reigning that in.




















For women it is all about the traditional haldi-kunku (going to each other's homes, socialising & exchaning small gifts etc.)
