Makar Sankranti 2025: Auspicious Day Significance, Rituals, and Scriptural Guidelines

Makar Sankranti, observed on January 14, 2025, signifies the Sun's transition into Capricorn and the start of Uttarayan. This auspicious day is dedicated to holy bathing, Sun worship, and charity, symbolizing positivity and spiritual growth. Scriptures advise avoiding anger, falsehood, and tamasic food or alcohol. Traveling south is also considered inauspicious, as it opposes the Sun's northward journey. Adhering to these guidelines is believed to bring blessings and favorable outcomes for the year.
