Makar Sankranti is on Wed 14 Jan: the Sun enters Makara at 10:37, by day.

Wed 14 Jan. The Sun enters Makara at 10:37; the punya kala is the 40 ghatis (16 h) from then, to 02:37 Thu.
Thu 15 Jan. The Sun does not enter Makara this day.
The Sun enters Makara at 10:37, between sunrise (07:38) and sunset (16:19). The Dharmasindhu’s punya kala is the 40 ghatis after the ingress, so the bath and gifts fall that day: Wed 14 Jan.
