Sankranti — म्हत्व
Sankranti marks the transit of the Sun from one rashi (zodiac sign) to the next. There are twelve Sankrantis in a year. Makar Sankranti (Sun entering Capricorn) is the most celebrated; others include Mesha, Vrishabha, and Mithuna Sankranti. The day is considered auspicious for charity and ritual baths.
