Overview
Makar Sankranti marks the Sun's entry into Makara Rashi (Capricorn) and the start of its northward journey (Uttarayan). Celebrated across India under different names — Pongal, Lohri, Uttarayan — the home puja focuses on Surya worship, gratitude for the harvest, and charity (daan) to the less fortunate.
Benefits
- Invokes Surya Dev's blessings for health, vitality and clarity of mind
- Marks an auspicious start to new ventures as Uttarayan begins
- Strengthens family bonds through shared prasad and charitable giving
Importance
Uttarayan is considered spiritually significant — the six months following Makar Sankranti are seen as favourable for auspicious ceremonies. The puja typically includes Surya Namaskar, til-gud (sesame-jaggery) offerings, and khichdi as prasad.
