Scriptures affirm that donations and prayers offered during this period yield exceptional spiritual rewards and lasting divine protection.

Abhijit Muhurat

12:10 PM to 12:52 PM

 

This time is classified as Abujh Muhurat, a flawless period free from doshas, ensuring fruitful outcomes for all sacred actions.

 

Astrologers further note that 2:00 PM also carries strong positive vibrations for Snan and Daan on this auspicious day.

Complete Snan-Daan Ritual Method For Makar Sankranti

• Before entering the water, invoke Lord Surya and chant: “Om Namah Suryaya”

• After bathing, wear clean garments and offer water to the Sun using a copper vessel, adding red flowers, rice grains and jaggery.
• While offering Arghya, chant: “Om Suryaya Namah” or “Om Adityaya Namah”
