Makar Sankranti — The sun turns north; light returns

Makar Sankranti marks the sun's journey into Capricorn and the lengthening of days — a time of gratitude, charity and new beginnings. Devotees bathe in sacred rivers and turn to the sustaining grace of Narayana.

Dates follow the standard panchang and can vary by a day depending on your region's sunrise and local tradition.
