Translating the secrets of Makara Sankranti January 14, 2021, 12:24 PM IST
India is a land of love, devotion, brotherhood, a land of culture and tradition. Respecting each other’s tradition and culture we celebrate many festivals here and it’s not wrong to say it’s a land of festivals. Makara Sankranti is one of the important festivals in Hindu culture which is dedicated to Lord Surya or Sun God. On this auspicious day, the sun starts its northward or uttarayan movement and moves towards the northern hemisphere. So it’s called Uttarayan.
From Makara Sankranti, days become longer and nights shorter, and it marks the end of the winter. Before this, the Sun was moved towards the southern hemisphere for which during winter, usually nights become longer than the days. It is also marked as the beginning of the spring. Another belief is that on this auspicious day Surya or Sun enters the zodiac Makara or Capricorn.
