Makar Sankranti 2026: Donate These Items for Good Luck & Prosperity!

• Makar Sankranti 2026 can be celebrated on January 14 or 15, with January 15 considered more auspicious due to Punya Kaal.
• Donating specific items after bathing and puja on Makar Sankranti can brighten luck and change bad times, as per astrologer Pt. Rakesh Pandey.
• Donating black sesame seeds or sesame ladoos pleases Surya Dev and Shani Dev, reducing Saturn's ill effects and destroying sins.
• Donate Khichdi ingredients (rice, lentils, turmeric, salt) rather than cooked Khichdi; this is a significant offering, especially at Gorakhnath Temple.
• Donating Saptadhanya (seven grains: barley, wheat, sesame, moong, rice, chana, jowar/bajra) helps pacify the Navagrahas.

Why It Matters: Donating specific items on Makar Sankranti can bring good fortune, blessings, and alleviate planetary issues.
