How the dates are fixed· तिथि निर्णय
Hindu date: The Sun's entry into each of the twelve signs (solar months).
Each Sankranti is listed on the date of the Sun's entry into the sign (IST). Makar Sankranti is kept in its punya kaal, so an entry after sunset moves it to the next day.
Dates are for New Delhi; elsewhere they can differ by a day. Month names follow the Purnimanta calendar used in North India, where a month ends on Purnima.
About Sankranti· महत्व
Makar Sankranti begins Uttarayana and is the best known. Mesha Sankranti is the solar new year (Baisakhi, Vishu, Puthandu and Pohela Boishakh), Karka Sankranti begins Dakshinayana, Kanya Sankranti is Vishwakarma Puja, and Tula Sankranti is Kaveri Sankramana in Karnataka.
The month when the Sun is in Dhanu, and again in Meena, is Kharmas, when weddings and new ventures are traditionally avoided.
How it is observed· विधि
- Bathe at sunrise and offer arghya to Surya.
- Give grain, sesame, clothes or money in charity during the punya kaal.
- Recite the Aditya Hridayam or Gayatri mantra.
