How come that the Hindu festival "Makar Sankranti" is on January 14 each year? Is there any link between the Hindu and English calendars?
That's intriguing! Can you tell me about any other festivals celebrated in India in January?
Yes, there is another festival called "Lohri" celebrated primarily in the North Indian states on January 13th. It commemorates the passing of the winter solstice and is considered to be the shortest day and longest night of the year. People gather around bonfires, throw popcorns, puffed rice, and sugarcane into the flames and sing and dance around it.
