How come that the Hindu festival "Makar Sankranti" is on January 14 each year? Is there any link between the Hindu and English calendars?
Can you tell me why the Hindu festival "Makar Sankranti" is celebrated on January 14 each year? Is there any link between the Hindu and English calendars?
The Hindu festival "Makar Sankranti" is celebrated on January 14 each year because it marks the transition of the sun into Makara Rashi. As for the link between the Hindu and English calendars, the dates of the Hindu festivals are determined by the Hindu lunisolar calendar which combines the solar and lunar cycles. While the English calendar is a purely solar calendar.
