About Makar Sankranti

This is the first big celebration of the year, taking place on January 15. Numerous names for this festival exist across the nation, which is observed by Hindus nationwide. This festival, however, is determined by the solar calendar, not the lunar one, in contrast to other Hindu celebrations that are based on the various lunar positions. This harvest festival is always held on the 14th or 15th of January in the Gregorian calendar, and it occurs in the month of Magha in the Lunar calendar. This festival is a solstice celebration since it marks the beginning of longer days and shorter nights. This is the day that spring officially arrives, with equal numbers of days and nights.

Makar Sankranti Significance

For farmers, who celebrate the day to honor their hard work and diligence and to appreciate the abundant harvest of the season, the festival has special meaning. In addition, the Sankranti festival holds great cultural and religious importance. The Puranas state that on this day in history, the Sun God, Surya, visited his son, Lord Shani, the Capricorn ruler, or Makar Rashi. They had previously had arguments that damaged their father-son relationship, but on this particular day, they were able to set those disagreements aside and come to an agreement. Thus, this festival honors the close relationship that exists between a son and his father. A joyful and prosperous time is approaching with the union of the two strong Gods!

Furthermore, the day that Lord Vishnu defeated the Asuras is commemorated on the Sankranti date of 2024. Legend has it that Lord Vishnu destroyed the demons, ending their destructive power over humanity. He killed all of them and buried them beneath the Mandara Parvat, proving that justice had triumphed over sacrilege.
