Happy Makar Shankranti,it is a festival which takes place in the month of January,on the 15th.

Makara Sankranti or Maghi, is a festival day in the Hindi Calendar,dedicated to the deity Surya(sun). It marks the first day of the sun’s transit into Makara (Capricorn), marking the end of the month with the winter solstice and the start of longer days.
