Happy Makar Sankranti

Makar Sankranti is one of the most auspicious festivals of India. This is also regarded as the beginning of an auspicious phase which marks the end of winter season and the commencement of a new harvest season. Makar Sankranti is one of the few Indian festivals which is celebrated on dates of 14th or 15th January every year.

In Bhagavad Gita (3.14), Lord Krishna says:

annād bhavanti bhūtāni
parjanyād anna-sambhavaḥ
yajṣād bhavati parjanyo
yajṣaḥ karma-samudbhavaḥ
