Makar Sankranti 2026: Avoid These Actions to Escape Surya Bhagavan's Wrath!

• Makar Sankranti, celebrated on January 14, 2026, marks the Sun's entry into Capricorn and the start of Uttarayan, a sacred period.
• Avoid eating without bathing, consuming pungent foods like onion/garlic, meat, or alcohol on this auspicious day.
• Do not let boiling milk spill excessively onto the ground while making Pongal, as it's considered an insult to Lakshmi Devi.
• Refrain from eating after sunset and ensure you offer Pongal as Naivedyam to Surya Bhagavan before consuming it.
• Avoid quarreling, cutting trees, or cutting hair/shaving on Sankranti; instead, practice charity and donate to the needy.

Why It Matters: Observe Makar Sankranti with reverence by avoiding specific actions to honor Surya Bhagavan and invite blessings.
