About Sankranti
Sankranti is an important festival in Indian culture, marking the transition of the Sun into Capricorn (Makara Rashi) in the Hindu solar calendar. It signifies the end of the winter solstice and the start of longer days. In South India, Sankranti is a major cultural event, while in other parts of India, it marks the beginning of a new month in the sidereal solar calendar.
In Indian astronomy, Sankranti refers to the movement of the sun from one zodiac sign to another. The year in the Hindu solar calendar consists of twelve Sankrantis, each corresponding to a month. Sankranti is celebrated in different ways across India, especially in the southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and the Himalayan regions. In the sidereal solar Bengali and Assamese calendars, Sankranti marks the end of each month, with the following day marking the start of a new one.
