Hindi

मकर संक्रांति का त्योहार हिन्दू धर्म के प्रमुख त्योहारों में शामिल है, जो सूर्य के उत्तरायन होने पर मनाया जाता है। इस पर्व की विशेष बात यह है कि यह अन्य त्योहारों की तरह अलग-अलग तारीखों पर नहीं, बल्कि हर साल 14 जनवरी को ही मनाया जाता है, जब सूर्य उत्तरायन होकर मकर रेखा से गुजरता है।

> कभी-कभी यह एक दिन पहले या बाद में यानि 13 या 15 जनवरी को भी मनाया जाता है लेकिन ऐसा कम ही होता है। मकर संक्रांति का संबंध सीधा पृथ्वी के भूगोल और सूर्य की स्थिति से है। जब भी सूर्य मकर रेखा पर आता है, वह दिन 14 जनवरी ही होता है, अत: इस दिन मकर संक्रांति का त्योहार मनाया जाता है।
