Every year the great festival of Makar Sankranti is celebrated on 14 January, but this year Makar Sankranti will not be celebrated on 14 January. Actually, the festival of Makar Sankranti is celebrated on the basis of Hindu calendar, in which the calculation of the transit of the Sun is kept in mind. Makar Sankranti occurs when the Sun transits into Capricorn. It is called Makar Sankranti of Sun. Sun God resides in every zodiac sign for about a month. Capricorn is the zodiac sign of Shani Dev. When Sun God comes in this, he changes from Dakshinayan to Uttarayan. Uttarayan is called the day of the gods. Due to the Uttarayan of the Sun, the heat gradually increases, the days become longer and the nights become shorter. Know from Kashi Astrologer Chakrapani Bhatt what is the exact date of Makar Sankranti? When to celebrate Makar Sankranti: Sunday or Monday? On Makar Sankranti, Sun God will enter Uttarayan riding on which vehicle?
