Makar Sankranti marks the beginning of the changing seasons, from winter to spring, celebrated by enthusiastic kite-flying. From 12–14 January every year, the 19th century kite and thread used by Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II are displayed at the Sarvato Bhadra, and its roof is opened to everyone to fly kites which the Museum provides. Til ke laddu (traditional sesame-seed sweets) and dal ke pakode (fried lentil dumplings) are also served.
