Solar Sankranti and Solar Months
Sankranti is the specific moment when the Sun enters from one Zodiac sign to another, marking the end of one solar month and the beginning of another. These 12 Sankrantis throughout the year are celebrated as holy festivals across various communities.
Among these, Maghe Sankranti (Makar Sankranti) and Baishakh Sankranti (Nepali New Year) are the most significant. Traditions include taking a holy bath early in the morning, offering water to the Sun, and performing charity to align oneself with the cosmic solar cycles.
