Makar Sankranti is more than just a festival; it is a day that gently wraps the school community in warmth, laughter, and golden sunlight.
The air feels lighter, the mornings glow softly, and every corner of the campus comes alive with cheerful chatter, music, and the flutter of colourful kites. At Career Point Gurukul, Makar Sankranti is a celebration that invites everyone to pause, smile, and truly savour the joy of togetherness.
Makar Sankranti is one of India’s oldest and most cherished festivals, marking the sun’s northward journey and the gentle close of winter. Traditionally, it honours the harvest, gratitude, and new beginnings. At Career Point Gurukul, we proudly uphold this rich legacy while adding our own distinctive touch. Students enjoy traditional sweets shared across the campus, fostering a deep sense of unity and belonging that brings the entire school community closer.
The festival is not only about kites or music, it is about meaningful connections. Friends exchange stories, savour sweets made of sesame and jaggery, and share light-hearted moments that soon turn into treasured memories. Teachers and elders look on with quiet smiles, absorbing the youthful energy around them, while the simple sweetness of til-gud gently reminds everyone that warmth and kindness grow stronger when shared.
After school hours, Gurukulites gather on the open ground beneath a sky adorned with colourful kites. Free from classrooms and daily routines, students come together laughing, conversing, and embracing the excitement of the festival. Gradually, the sky fills with kites of every hue, each one carrying joy, friendly competition, and the carefree spirit of childhood. As students look upward, everyday worries fade away, replaced by laughter and wonder.
Standing together beneath a sky painted with colour, listening to music, and laughing without reserve, one quickly understands why Makar Sankranti continues to inspire joy, togetherness, and a deep sense of tradition at Career Point Gurukul. It is a winter festival that not only brightens the season but also warms every heart it touches.
