***NOTE THAT THE ACTUAL DAY IS 14 JANUARY 2026***Join us to celebrate Makar Sankranti, a major Hindu festival marking a sacred shift in the celestial calendar.
What We Celebrate:
The Auspicious New Beginning: This day marks the Sun's shift into the zodiac sign of Capricorn (Makara), beginning the Uttarayan—the six-month period when the Sun moves northward. This time is considered highly auspicious for spiritual growth and success.
A Harvest of Gratitude: It is a time for thanksgiving to the Sun God (Surya) for sustaining life and celebrating the season's bountiful harvest across India.
Sweetness and Unity: We share sweets made of sesame (til) and jaggery (gul), symbolizing the desire to forgive differences and foster peace, unity, and love among all.
It is a day for spiritual cleansing, joyous celebration, and welcoming the light!
