Makar Sankranti celebrates practices that reflect India’s cultural diversity. Social media has been celebrating this cultural inclusiveness in a way that is now global, with visuals.

Makar Sankranti is one of the few festivals in India that is observed across regions while still retaining a strong local character. Celebrated under different names and traditions, the festival appears in varied forms across the country, yet remains anchored in shared cultural ideas around harvest, gratitude, and community. This overlap between difference and familiarity is what gives Makar Sankranti its relevance as a cultural marker.

Building on this shared cultural framework, we made a list of visual and cultural cues that define Makar Sankranti across regions. Through a focus on colour palettes, festive food, and the everyday ways people come together to celebrate, these posts reflect how the festival is experienced across the country. From communal meals and seasonal sweets to shared activities that draw people outdoors, each element highlights the social nature of the celebration.
