Sunrise Symphony:**

**Sunrise Symphony:**

The sky, a canvas of saffron silk, ignites as Surya takes the stage,

His golden brushstrokes etching hope upon the age-worn slate.

Bathing in his liquid light, rivers turn to molten gold,

As temple bells, in joyous clang, their ancient stories unfold.

**Sweet Surrender:**

Til laddoos, like amber moons, upon the tongue they melt,

Sweet surrender to the sun, a story softly felt.

Jaggery's kiss, a whisper warm, of fields where sugarcane sways,

And in each sesame-studded bite, a grateful prayer we raise.

**Bathing in Bliss:**

Ganges' embrace, a mother's touch, washes away the chill,

Sun-kissed waters, sparkling pure, where sins and sorrows spill.

Dipping souls in sacred hues, chanting mantras to the sky,

Makar Sankranti's holy dip, where spirits learn to fly.

**Kite Dreams:**

Paper wings, on painted breeze, soar high towards the sun,

Dreams take flight in vibrant hues, a battle fought and won.

Each tug and string, a whispered wish, carried on the air,

May fortune smile upon our kites, and bless us with its care.

**Bonfire Revelry:**

Crackling flames, a vibrant pyre, dance shadows in the night,

Stories etched in flickering light, beneath the starry plight.

Drums and laughter fill the air, as old and young convene,

In this fiery communion, hearts and souls convene.

Makar Sankranti, a symphony of light and sound,

Where nature's bounty paints the land, and joy forever's bound.

Sweetness shared, a bond that's thine.

**4. Kites Dance in Azure Sky:**
