Karka Sankranti 2024: Significance Of This Day
Beginning on the day of Karka Sankranti, Lord Sun transforms into Dakshinayan, bestowing blessings upon his followers. The god, primarily Lord Vishnu, is believed to go into sleep for four months on Karka Sankranti, which falls on the day of Devshayani Ekadashi. While it is forbidden to carry out any kind of work during these four months, worshipping Lord Vishnu at this time is highly beneficial. During Karka Sankranti, the Sun is in the sign of Cancer. Throughout a Hindu year, Lord Surya travels through 12 signs of the zodiac. Of these 12 Sankrantis, Makar and Karka are said to be the two most important.
