On the occasion of Makar Sankranti, the Sun is set to transit into Capricorn (Makar Rashi) on January 14, 2026, marking a significant celestial event after nearly 12 months. This solar transition holds deep religious, social and astrological importance. With the Sun’s northward journey (Uttarayan), the festival of Makar Sankranti will be celebrated across the country, and the inauspicious period of Kharmas will come to an end, allowing the resumption of auspicious and ceremonial activities.
