Science behind Makar Sankranti

Makar Sankranti is celebrated all over India with great enthusiasm and It holds a great importance in our Hindu Vedic culture. But do you know that this festival holds a great scientific reasoning behind it!

Our ancient rishis and seers were very knowledgeable persons and thus, our religion celebrate all major cosmic changes. Makar Sankranti is a one such change when the sun passes through the winter solstice, from the tropic of cancer to the tropic of Capricorn. With this, the earth starts its northward part of the rotation signifying that summers are beginning. Before this, sun was in southern hemisphere due to which nights are longer and days are shorter in India.

On the day of makar Sankranti both day and night time is equal. After this, the days will become longer and warmer compared to nights. Also, this day is connected to beginning of harvest season in India too.

This year makar Sankranti falls on 15th January,2020.
