Editorial guidance
Makar Sankranti is celebrated under different names and with different customs across India, including kite-flying traditions and regional harvest foods.
Tag the regional name or activity shown—kite flying, til-gul, harvest celebration, Uttarayan, Lohri or Pongal—rather than treating them as interchangeable.
Editor’s note: Regional naming is a strength here: the post should tell people which cultural form they are looking at.
