How is Sankranti celebrated?
Sankranti marks the transition of the Sun from one zodiac sign to another. Among all Sankrantis, Makara Sankranti is the most significant. On this day, the Sun moves from the Sagittarius (Dhanus) zodiac to Capricorn (Makara). It is celebrated every year on January 14 or 15, marking the last day of the lunar month of Pausha and the beginning of the Sun’s northward journey – Uttarayana.
