Makar Sankranti 2026 will be celebrated on 14th January 2026. It holds great significance for worshipping the Sun God and performing acts of charity. It is said that any donation made on this day is multiplied in manifolds. Additionally, individuals can perform some effective remedies to attract good luck in their lives. Here, we have mentioned 7 effective remedies that will not only bring happiness and prosperity into your life but also open new avenues for wealth. By following these simple remedies, you can receive the blessings of Lord Surya.
Makar Sankranti 2026: 7 Upay To Attract Good Luck And Financial Prosperity
1. Offer Water To Surya Dev: On Makar Sankranti, the Sun God changes his zodiac sign, so offering water to him is considered very auspicious. Take a bath early in the morning, take some water in a copper vessel, and add some black sesame seeds, jaggery, and red flowers to the vessel. Thereafter, worship Surya Dev by facing East and offering the water, chanting 'Om Suryaya Namah.'
2. Donate Jaggery And Ghee: Donating jaggery and pure ghee is a very effective remedy to overcome financial difficulties. Jaggery is associated with the sun and ghee with prosperity. Donating jaggery and ghee to a temple or a poor person brings blessings to the home and creates opportunities for recovering stuck money. This remedy has the power to awaken your dormant fortune.
3. Donate And Eat Khichadi: Makar Sankranti is also known by the name "Khichdi" in many places. The preparation and donation of "Khichdi" prepared from rice and urad dal, and then having it as prasad, is highly auspicious on this day. Rice corresponds to the moon, and urad corresponds to Saturn. The donation of these things eradicates planetary deficiencies in the horoscope.

4. Donate Warm Clothes: As Makar Sankranti takes place during the winter months, donating a blanket or warm clothes is said to be one of the most virtuous actions. Donating a blanket to someone who is helpless or old nullifies the ill effects of Rahu and Shani.
5. Donate And Use Sesame Seeds Or Til: Donating sesame seeds on this festival is considered a great act of charity. According to religious texts, donating sesame seeds frees one from unknowingly committed sins and brings the blessings of Shani Dev. You can donate sesame seed ladoos or raw sesame seeds to someone in need. Consuming sesame seeds yourself also increases positive energy in the body and improves health.
6. Feed Green Fodder To Cows: In Hinduism, the cow is considered sacred, and serving her brings the blessings of all the gods and goddesses. On Makar Sankranti, feed green fodder or jaggery and bread to a cow with your own hands. This remedy is especially beneficial for those who are troubled by debt. It reduces life's difficulties and increases prosperity and well-being in the home.
7. Take A Sacred Dip In Holy Rivers: Taking a dip in a holy river such as the Ganges or Yamuna on Sankranti is considered very meritorious. If you cannot go to a river, add some Ganges water and black sesame seeds to your bathwater at home. Doing so purifies the body and soul. This remedy removes negative energy and brings peace of mind and clarity to life.
