About Makar Sankranti
Makara Sankranti, or Maghi, is a festival day in the Hindu calendar, dedicated to the deity Surya. It is observed each year in January. It marks the first day of the sun's transit into the Makara, marking the end of the month with the winter solstice and the start of longer days.
