The word “Sankranti” in Makar Sankranti is derived from the word 'Sankramana', meaning a 'change.' And that’s what the celebrations epitomise. Makar Sankranti marks the first day of sun's transit into the Makara (Capricorn) Rashi, marking the end of the chilly winters and the start of longer happy summer days. The festival is one of the few to be based on solar cycles, with the Sun beginning its northward journey from the Tropic of Capricorn towards the Tropic of Cancer. This journey is called 'Uttarayana', meaning northward march. Makar Sankranti celebrations are dedicated to the Sun God, the one who supports life on earth. Makar Sankranti 2019: Significance, Celebrations and Customs Attached to the Auspicious Hindu Festival.
