Pictures of people celebrating the kite festival in India.
The festival marks the days in the Indian calendar when winter begins turning to summer, known as Makar Sankranti or Uttarayan. On what is usually a bright warm sunny day with brisk breezes to lift the kites aloft, almost all normal activity is shut down and everyone takes to the rooftops and roadways to fly kites and compete with their neighbours.
