Importance of Makar Sankranti - From today onwards, the sun comes from Dakshinaayan in Uttarayan. In Uttarayan, the time of the Sun is considered auspicious time and the demanding work is done easily. Since the earth is divided into two hemispheres, when the Sun is inclined towards the right arm, then this condition is called Dakshinayan and when the Sun is inclined towards the Northern Hemisphere then this state of the Sun is called Uttaranya. With this there are 12 horoscopes in which the sun lives for a year or so a year. When the sun enters the Capricorn, it is called Makar Sankranti.
