Mithun Sankranti 2025 — Know Date, Time, And Rituals To Perform On This Auspicious Day

Mithun Sankranti is believed to be a significant celestial event in Hinduism. On this day, taking a holy dip in a sacred river is considered highly beneficial.

Mithun Sankranti marks a significant celestial event when the Sun transits from one zodiac sign to another—in this case, into Gemini (Mithun). This transition is not only astrologically important but is also considered highly auspicious in Hindu beliefs. Popularly known as Surya Sankranti or Sun Transit 2024, this occasion holds immense spiritual value.

On this day, taking a holy dip in a sacred river is considered highly beneficial. However, for those unable to do so, it is recommended to mix Ganga Jal (holy water from the Ganges) into the bathing water at home to purify the body and mind.
