Kite flying for Makar Sankranti is a family event. Entire families gather together on the terraces, roofs or any other part of their house exposed to the sky. Those not busy flying are busy in preparing the kites. The kite contests are very intensely fought. It requires a lot of concentration to not lose sight of your kite. Controlling the flight and motion of the kite so high up, is no easy task. The kite that flies the tallest is the star of the day!
