MAKARA SANKRANTI
The Free Press Journal - Mumbai
|January 14, 2026
Dr S Ainavolu
-
ankranti means transition or movement of the Sun from one rashi, or constellation, into the other.
There are twelve rashis according to astrology, and hence twelve Sankrantis happen in the year. The occurrence of this is around the middle of the English calendar months. Thus, from the middle of January to December, we have twelve Sankranti festivals. However, given the importance of the Sun’s transit from Dhanu to Makara (Sagittarius to Capricorn), the Makara Sankranti is celebrated as a major festival in the middle of every January.
