Why is Makar Sankranti on Fri 13 Jan in Ipameri?
Makar Sankranti is on Fri 13 Jan: the Sun enters Makara at 19:44, by day.
Ring: the Sun’s yearly path, 12 rashis of 30° counted from 0°; stars fixed (sidereal, Lahiri). Close-up: the Sun’s path on one clock (UTC−2): its rashi above, day and night below. Sun: at each sunrise, with its longitude, and where it enters. Box: Punya kala.
Fri 13 Jan. The Sun enters Makara at 19:44; the punya kala is the 40 ghatis (16 h) from then, to 11:44 Sat.
Sat 14 Jan. The punya kala that began the day before ends this morning at 11:44; Makar Sankranti stays on Fri 13 Jan.
The Sun enters Makara at 19:44, between sunrise (06:48) and sunset (19:54). The Dharmasindhu’s punya kala is the 40 ghatis after the ingress, so the bath and gifts fall that day: Fri 13 Jan.
