Makar Sankranti

Makar Sankranti marks the auspicious transition of the Sun into Makara (Capricorn), symbolizing new beginnings, spiritual upliftment, and the gradual movement toward longer, brighter days. This sacred observance is ideal for gratitude, charity, and prayer for prosperity and well-being.

Makar Sankranti is a powerful solar festival rooted in Vedic astronomy and spiritual discipline, celebrated across India as a time of renewal, gratitude, and righteous action. As the Sun enters Capricorn, devotees welcome a phase associated with growth, clarity, and increased spiritual merit. The puja centers on Surya Dev, acknowledging the life-giving force that sustains nature and human endeavor. The ritual begins with purification and sankalp, followed by Surya Arghya offered at sunrise, symbolizing surrender of ego and gratitude for vitality and illumination. Seasonal offerings—especially til (sesame) and jaggery—represent warmth, unity, and sweetness amid life’s transitions, while daan rituals emphasize compassion and sharing. Mantra chanting and deepak seva elevate the environment, fostering inner balance and positive intent for the months ahead. Performed with devotion, Makar Sankranti Puja helps devotees reset spiritually, cultivate discipline, and align actions with dharma. Whether observed at home or a sacred space, this service invites health, prosperity, and harmony, guiding families toward a brighter, purposeful path under divine grace. FAQs
