The day when Lord Surya changes from Dakshina to Uttarayana is celebrated as Sankranti. That means he enters Capricorn. Hence it is called Makara Sankranti. In 2023, the Sun enters Capricorn on January 15. Therefore we celebrate Makar Sankranti on 15th January.

According to Panchangam Lord Surya enters Makara Rasi on January 14th after 8:55 PM. However, Uttarayanam starts after sunrise on Tuesday (January 15). According to the Puranas, the gates of heaven will be open from this day when the sun enters the northern path. Today, wake up early in the morning, bathe your head and offer salutations to Lord Surya.

Why Donate?
Sankranti is the festival of Lord Sun. According to Puranas.. It is very auspicious to offer Arghya to Lord Surya on Makar Sankranti. On this day water is taken in a copper vessel, black sesame seeds, jaggery, red sandalwood, red flowers, akshatas etc. are placed in it and the mantra ‘Om Suryanarayana Nama:’ is offered to the Sun. It is believed that offering argyam to Lord Shani on this day along with Lord Surya and giving alms to the poor will also remove planetary evils.

On the day of Sankranti, big Rangavallas are put up in front of the house. Gobbemmas are put in it. After that milk is poured in between them. New grains are planted around. Some people add rice and jaggery to the same milk and cook paramanam. It is offered to the sun god and distributed to everyone. It is believed that overflowing milk in front of the house on Sankranti brings happiness and prosperity like milk.

The day preceding the Makara Sankranti festival is known as Bhogi. Bonfires are lit on the morning of Bhogi day. Old things are thrown into that fire. Newness is invited. This time we are celebrating Bhogi on 14th January.

Kanuma festival is celebrated on the next day of Makar Sankranti. On this day, cattle are bathed, bathed and garlanded. All people want to flourish with sukha: happiness with dairy crops. This time we are celebrating Kanuma on 16th January.
