Makar Sankranti is a major festival associated with Hindu religion. This festival is celebrated during the transit of Sun in Capricorn. According to the Hindu calendar, Makar Sankranti is celebrated when Sun enters the Capricorn from the Sagittarius in the month of Paush. According to the English calendar, this date usually comes every year on January 14th. From this day, the northern phase of Sun starts, hence it is celebrated as Uttarayan festival as well in some regions of India. In South Indian states, Makar Sankranti is celebrated as Pongal festival. Climate change begins only with Makar Sankranti. Autumn gradually decreases and spring arrives. Since this day, the days start getting longer and the nights become smaller.

It is believed that after more than 150 years, the rare full Moon Eclipse will occur on January 31, 2018 which, according to astronomy, is called "blue moon". This lunar eclipse will be seen in many countries of the world including India, and it will have a big effect everywhere.
Religious and mythological significance of Makar Sankranti
Makar Sankranti has great significance in India with a religious and cultural perspective. According to mythological beliefs, on the day of Makar Sankranti, Sun goes to his son Shani’ place.

According to another legend, Makar Sankranti is celebrated as the victory of Lord Vishnu on the Asuras. It is said that on the day of Makar Sankranti, Lord Vishnu had struck the dead bodies of Asuras on the Prithvilok and buried their heads on Mandara hill. Lord Vishnu’s victory began to be celebrated as Makar Sankranti festival from then.
