About Makar Sankranti
Makar
Sankranti is a major harvest festival celebrated in various parts of
India. According to the lunar calendar, when the sun moves from the
Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn or from Dakshinayana to
Uttarayana, in the month of Poush in mid-January, it commemorates the
beginning of the harvest season and cessation of the northeast monsoon
in South India. The movement of the earth from one zodiac sign into
another is called Sankranti and as the Sun moves into the Capricorn
zodiac known as Makar in Hindi, this occasion is named as Makar
Sankranti in the Indian context. It is one of the few Hindu Indian
festivals which are celebrated on a fixed date i.e. 14th January every
year.
Makar Sankranti, apart from a harvest festival is
also regarded as the beginning of an auspicious phase in Indian
culture. It is said as the ‘holy phase of transition’. It marks the end
of an inauspicious phase which according to the Hindu calendar begins
around mid-December. It is believed that any auspicious and sacred
ritual can be sanctified in any Hindu family, this day onwards.
Scientifically, this day marks the beginning of warmer and longer days
compared to the nights. In other words, Sankranti marks the termination
of winter season and beginning of a new harvest or spring season.
All
over the country, Makar Sankranti is observed with great fanfare.
However, it is celebrated with distinct names and rituals in different
parts of the country. In the states of northern and western India, the
festival is celebrated as the Sankranti day with special zeal and
fervor. The importance of this day has been signified in the ancient
epics like Mahabharata also. So, apart from socio-geographical
importance, this day also holds a historical and religious significance.
As, it is the festival of Sun God and he is regarded as the symbol
divinity and wisdom, the festival also holds an eternal meaning to it.
