As per Hindu Panchang, Sankranti (संक्रांति) means movement of the Sun from one Rashi to the next. In some parts of India, each Sankranti is marked as the beginning of a month. On the other hand, in some other parts, a Sankranti is marked as the end of each month and the day following as the beginning of a new month.
Sankranti is favorable for charity, but on this day auspicious ceremonies are avoided. Makar Sankranti marks the beginning of a prosperous phase or the holy phase of transition. All sacred rituals and auspicious ceremonies can be performed after Sankranti.
