Makara Sankranti

Makara Sankranti marks the sun’s entry into the Capricorn (Makar), ending its southern journey and beginning its northern (Uttarayan) path.  It is a time for spiritual practices including prayers to the Sun God (Surya) for prosperity.  Makara Sankranti symbolizes renewal, positivity and a fresh start.
