MAKAR SANKRANTI and the Winter Solstice

Numerous Indians conflate this celebration with the Winter Solstice,

what's more, trust that the sun closes its southward adventure (Sanskrit: Dakshinayana) at the Tropic of Capricorn,

what's more, begins moving northward (Sanskrit: Uttarayaana) towards the Tropic of Cancer, in the Nepalese Hindu month of Poush on this day in mid-January.

While there is no unmistakable sun based recognition of Winter Solstice in the Indian religion, the Vaikuntha Ekadashi celebration,

figured on the lunar schedule, falls the nearest. Advance, the Sun makes its northward trip on the day after winter solstice when light increments.

In this way, Makar Sankranti connotes the festival of the day taking after the day of winter solstice.

Experimentally, as of now in the Northern Hemisphere, winter solstice happens somewhere around 21 and 22 December.

Sunlight will start to increment on 22 December and on this day, the Sun will start its northward excursion which marks Uttarayaan.

The date of winter solstice changes progressively because of the Axial precession of the Earth, coming prior by roughly 1 day in at regular intervals.

Consequently, if the Makara Sankranti sooner or later of time marked the day after the genuine date of winter solstice,

a date in mid-January would relate to around 300CE,

the prime of Indian science and space science.
