About Makar Sankranti
Makar Sankranti is the day the Sun enters Makara (Capricorn) — the start of Uttarayan, the Sun’s northward journey. It is a day for a holy dip, for giving (til, gud, khichdi, blankets) and for flying kites; Punjab keeps Lohri the evening before, Tamil Nadu Pongal and Assam Bhogali Bihu. Snan and daan are best in the Punya Kaal, and most of all in the Maha Punya Kaal.
मकर संक्रांति वह दिन है जब सूर्य मकर राशि में प्रवेश करता है — उत्तरायण का आरंभ। यह पवित्र स्नान, दान (तिल, गुड़, खिचड़ी, कंबल) और पतंगबाज़ी का दिन है; पंजाब में एक शाम पहले लोहड़ी, तमिलनाडु में पोंगल और असम में भोगाली बिहू मनाया जाता है। स्नान और दान पुण्य काल में, और सबसे श्रेष्ठ महा पुण्य काल में।
How these times are worked out
For Muzaffarpur's own coordinates; they match the panchang (Drik Panchang) — checked for 2027 onward in Delhi, Patna, Mumbai, Jaipur and Kolkata. If the Sun enters Makara in the daytime, Makar Sankranti is that day and the Punya Kaal runs from that moment to sunset; if it enters at night, the festival is the next day (or that morning), from sunrise to sunset. The Maha Punya Kaal is the first sixth of that time of day.
