Makar Sankranti 2026 Shubh Muhurat

In 2026, Makar Sankranti falls on 14 January 2026 (Wednesday). This date is computed from the actual angle between the Moon and the Sun for New Delhi, not copied from a list.

Why this date barely moves

This is a solar festival: it tracks the Sun's entry into Makara rather than a lunar tithi. That is why it sits on nearly the same civil date every year, while Diwali wanders across six weeks.
