Question

conclusion on Sankranti​

Answer 1

Sankranti (Sanskrit: संक्रान्ति saṁkrānti) means transmigration of the Sun from one Rāshi (constellation of the zodiac in Indian astronomy) to the next.[1] Hence, there are 12 Sankrantis in a year.[2]

Each Sankranti is marked as the beginning of a month in the sidereal solar calendars followed in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Kerala, Odisha, Punjab, Gujarat & Nepal . On the other hand, in the sidereal solar Bengali calendar and Assamese calendar, a Sankranti is marked as the end of each month and the day following as the beginning of a new month.

Answer 2

Sankranti:

• Makara Sankranti is a festival day in the Hindu calendar, devoted to the deity Surya.  

• It is perceived each year in the lunar month of Magha which relates with the month of January as per the Gregorian calendar and is a day the people of India rejoice their harvest.

• Makara Sankranti is viewed as important for spiritual practices and thus, people take a holy dip in rivers, particularly in Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri.
