The Sun enters Makara
Sunday, 10 January 1762
The Sun crosses at 10:24 PM, your local time
The Sun reaches its southern limit and turns north: Uttarāyaṇa begins, the most auspicious turn of the year. Kept as Makara Saṅkrānti across the north, Pongal in Tamil Nadu, Lohri in the Punjab, Magh Bihu in Assam, Uttarāyaṇ in Gujarat, the great harvest festival. In the Mahābhārata, Bhīṣma held back his death on the arrow-bed to leave his body once Uttarāyaṇa had come.
What is done, A pre-dawn bath (the Gaṅgā-snāna and the Kumbha bathing are timed to it), sesame-and-jaggery (til-gud) shared with the words "speak sweetly," charity, and the harvest feast, Pongal cooked till it boils over, for plenty.
