Makar Sankranti and Ekadashi Same Day: How to Celebrate Both?

• Makar Sankranti and Ekadashi fall on the same day in 2026, causing confusion among devotees.
• Makar Sankranti marks the Sun's entry into Capricorn (Uttarayan), considered auspicious for chanting, bathing, and charity.
• Ekadashi can be observed during the day, and Makar Sankranti rituals can be performed in the evening.
• Donations of peanuts, revadi, gajak, black lentil khichdi, clothes, and utensils are traditional on Makar Sankranti.
• Khichdi can be consumed only after 6:40 PM on Makar Sankranti, as Dwadashi begins then, ensuring auspicious results.

Why It Matters: Celebrate Ekadashi during the day and Makar Sankranti in the evening, consuming khichdi after 6:40 PM.
