Makar Sankranti will be celebrated on 14 January 2026. This sacred festival is not just a cultural celebration, but a symbol of new beginnings, positive energy, and the journey from darkness to light. On this day, the Sun moves from Sagittarius to Capricorn, marking the beginning of Uttarayan, which is considered highly auspicious in Indian tradition. It is believed that positive actions performed on this day bring special and long-lasting results.
In Indian culture, Makar Sankranti is regarded as a festival of merit, charity, and inner purification. Even small spiritual practices performed on this day are said to bring significant benefits. Here are three simple yet powerful remedies that can help attract happiness, peace, and success in life.
- Offering Water to the Sun God
On the morning of Makar Sankranti, after taking a bath, offer water to the Sun God using a copper vessel. You may add red flowers or a few grains of rice to the water while offering it. The Sun represents energy, confidence, and good health. This remedy is believed to improve health, enhance self-confidence, and bring recognition and respect. It is especially beneficial for those facing mental stress or obstacles in their professional life. - Donation and Consumption of Sesame Seeds and Jaggery
Sesame seeds (til) and jaggery (gud) hold special importance on Makar Sankranti. Donating til and jaggery and consuming them on this day is considered highly auspicious. Sesame seeds are associated with Saturn, while jaggery represents the Sun. This practice helps in reducing planetary imbalances, bringing sweetness in relationships, and removing financial obstacles. It also promotes harmony and positivity within the family. - Sacred Bath and Positive Resolution
Taking a holy dip in a sacred river on this day is considered very auspicious. If that is not possible, mix a few drops of Ganga water in your bathing water at home. After bathing, take a positive resolution with a calm and focused mind. This practice is believed to bring mental peace, purification of past negative energies, and success in new ventures.
Makar Sankranti 2026 is a powerful occasion for self-renewal, positivity, and new opportunities. By following these three simple remedies, one can invite health, happiness, prosperity, and balance into life. This festival reminds us that even small positive actions can create meaningful changes and guide us toward a brighter future.
