Makara Sankranti is astronomically significant as it marks the sun's movement into the northern hemisphere, signifying longer days and the end of winter. This transition is seen as a period of increased spiritual light and energy, symbolising the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil.
