This year <strong>Makar Sankranti will be observed on January 14, 2026. <\/strong>On this day the sun moves northwards and enters Makara (Capricorn zodiac). Makar is a Sanskrit word that literally means Capricorn and Sankranti means transition, hence it is known as Makar Sankranti.<\/p>\n<p>It is one of the most auspicious festivals of Hindus, characterized by different names and customs in different places. On this day, rituals like bathing and charity are considered of special importance.\u00a0 It is believed that the donations made on this day are of much more significance than that made on any other day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alert alert-info\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Makar Sankranti 2026 Quiz\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"lead-gen-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Makar-Sankranti-Quiz.pdf\" data-url=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Makar-Sankranti-Quiz.pdf\" class=\"lead-pdf-download\" data-id=\"25565347\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><button class=\"btn btn-default\">DOWNLOAD FREE QUIZ PDF<\/button><\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Makar_Sankranti_2026_Date_%E2%80%93_January_14\"><\/span><strong>Makar Sankranti 2026 Date \u2013 January 14<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In this article readers can get a glimpse on<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Makar Sankranti Festival and Celebration<\/li>\n<li>Makar Sankranti Auspicious Time and Wishes<\/li>\n<li>Makar Sankranti Quiz<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Makar_Sankranti_Festival_2026\"><\/span><strong>Makar Sankranti Festival 2026<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Makar Sankranti commemorates the end of winter as well as the beginning of longer days due to the sun&#8217;s northward movement. This festival is devoted to Lord Surya or the sun god. According to the Vedas, Lord Sun is referred to as the &#8216;Father&#8217; and passage of the sun determines the changing of phases and seasons of our lives.<\/p>\n<p>According to Hindu mythology, the sun who is the father and Saturn, his son, do not get along well. But on Makar Sankranti, the father goes to meet his son. Both Saturn and Sun are mighty planets whose blessings are believed to allow humans to achieve great success. Because of this, on Makar Sankranti, people pray to both the sun and Saturn.<\/p>\n<p>On this day, many devotees visit temples early in the morning after a ritual bath in the Ganges and pray to Surya for blessings for the whole family. According to Hindu mythology, if a person dies on Makar Sankranti, they are not reincarnated. Instead they go straight to heaven.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Makar_Sankranti_2026_Celebration\"><\/span><strong>Makar Sankranti 2026 Celebration<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a total of twelve Sankranti in a year, out of which Makar Sankranti and Kark (Cancer) Sankranti are of great importance. On this day, worshippers take a bath in sacred rivers\u202f\u202flike\u202fGanga, Yamuna, Godavari, Krishna, and Cauvery. It is believed that taking a dip in these rivers cleanses away the\u202fsins of the\u00a0 believers and bestows health, wealth and prosperous life.<\/p>\n<p>It is also regarded to be a period of peace and prosperity, and several spiritual acts are performed on this day. Pilgrimage places like Haridwar, Banaras and Allahabad witness a huge rush of devotees on this auspicious day. Giving charity, chanting and tapas all have special significance on Makara Sankranti. Clothes, blankets, and even gold are given as donations at times.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone tries their best to donate whatever possible. People distribute til-gud and sweets made of jaggery, rice, green gram and sesame. The sweet signifies the need for people to live together in peace and harmony and also the virtues of sharing and spreading happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Kite flying is a major part of Makar Sankranti celebration. People gather in an open field and fly their kites of different designs and colors. This is a great opportunity to interact with locals and make friends.\u00a0 It is also considered as an auspicious day to start a new business or take up a new position at work place. In several parts of India like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab and Tamil Nadu new crops are harvested during this time.<\/p>\n<p>During Makar Sankranti there are colorful decorations all around. In some of the rural areas, children go around singing and asking for treats. People throng the melas (fairs), enjoy dancing, kite flying, bon fires and feasts. Kite flying competitions are organized at many places.<\/p>\n<p>Khichdi (a dish made of rice and lentils) is savored on this day. \u00a0India&#8217;s biggest fair, Ganga Sagar Mela, is held in West Bengal on Makar Sankranti. This fair is an annual gathering of pilgrims who come to perform several rituals including lighting lamps and chanting.<\/p>\n<h5><strong><em>Let&#8217;s have a look at the rituals in some of the states:<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Maharashtra &#8211;<\/strong> In Maharashtra, people celebrate Makara Sankranti in by exchanging<em> til gud. <\/em>The thought behind this is to forgive and forget the past ill-feelings.
