Why is Mesha Sankranti on Wed 14 Apr?
In New Delhi
Mesha Sankranti is on Wed 14 Apr: the Sun enters Mesha at 15:28, 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 (IST): its rashi above, day and night below. Sun: at each sunrise, with its longitude, and where it enters.
Wed 14 Apr. The Sun enters Mesha at 15:28.
Thu 15 Apr. The Sun does not enter Mesha this day.
The Sun enters Mesha at 15:28, between sunrise (05:57) and sunset (18:46): Wed 14 Apr. No text giving Mesha Sankranti’s time was found; sankranti is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
The Sun’s entry into Mesha (sidereal, Lahiri)
Mesha Sankranti is the Sun’s entry into Mesha.
- Smarta
- an ingress by day keeps that day; one after sunset, the next: Tithika’s convention.
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
Each city’s date and times are worked out at its own sunrise and sunset; each city’s page draws the reason.
