Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hello Makar sankranti celebrates when Sun reaches Makar (Capricorn) in astrological terms. Sankranati means samkramana thithi or traverse day. This is the period when the northernly travel of Sun takes place, which is called Utharayana. Utharayana is considered auspicious for many muhurtas. In Epic Mahabharat Bhishma Pithamaha waits in the sara sayya ( arrow bed) for utharayana to arrive for him to take himself to the heavenly abode. WISH EVERY MEMBER A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS MAKAR SANKRANTI. Regards MK Viswanath Share files, take polls, and discuss your passions - all under one roof. Click here.
