Makar Sankranti festival, which is associated with bathing and charity, will fall on January 14, Tuesday, following the sequence of three years. Get-ready preparations for the occasion are already being processed in every household. Working mothers are occupied with creating traditional food like yoghurt in a clay pot, jaggery laddoo or attukalas, homemade sesame sweets, and more. Many were seen buying food items required for Makar Sankranti preparations, like tilkut, laai, almond sweets, dahi-chura and jaggery, in the markets of Patna. People were moving around the markets late at night, and there were small shops that had been established for festive occasions, making people go by the smell of tilkut, among others.
This year a special astronomical event the Bhoma-Pushy Yoga is expected to take place on Makar Sankranti for the first time in 19 years. This special conjunction will begin at 10:41 AM and lasts the whole day. This is created because of the conjunction of Pushya Nakshatra on Makar Sankranti, which occupies a crucial place in the Hindu calendar and Hindu astrology. The Pushya Nakshatra is associated with prosperity, wealth growth, and spirituality, and it is thus known to bless the bearer with the blooms of wealth.
Sanatan Dharma devotees celebrate Makar Sankranti, which is an important festival that will be observed on January 14. It is also mentioned that today, both the Moon phase and Magha Krishna Pratipada with Pushya Nakshatra cause noble effects to happen. On this occasion, people take baths in holy rivers like Ganga and do charity ten, which is believed to get tenfold advantages. Furthermore, the sun’s entry into Capricorn at 2:55 PM on January 14 is the last day of Kharmas and the first day of the auspicious period for performing any religious function or marriage. This celestial event will add to the features that Makar Sankranti holds this year.
