Singh Sankranti 2023: Singh Sankranti, occurring today, is a unique occasion when the Sun God transitions from one zodiac sign to another, a monthly phenomenon. However, as per the Hindi Panchang, today holds exceptional significance, as the Sun God is about to enter its own sign, Leo, after a year. This event is referred to as Singh Sankranti, and it holds a special place. The day of Singh Sankranti is associated with ritualistic bathing in sacred rivers and making donations. Additionally, partaking in ghee consumption on this day is considered incredibly auspicious and holds profound meaning with a hidden rationale. Let's explore the propitious timing for worship and the significance of consuming ghee during Singh Sankranti.

Auspicious Timings for Singh Sankranti 2023: According to the Panchang, on August 17, 2023, Thursday, at 1:44 pm, the Sun God, Surya Dev, will conclude its passage through Cancer and enter its ruling sign, Leo. This day also involves the worship of Lord Vishnu and Lord Narasimha, alongside Surya Dev. The recommended time for worship, known as Singh Sankranti Punya Kaal, extends from 6:44 am to 1:44 pm. Furthermore, there is a brief period known as Singh Sankranti Maha Punya Kaal, spanning only 2 hours from 11:33 am to 1:44 pm.

The Significance of Ghee on Singh Sankranti: The consumption of ghee during Singh Sankranti carries deep significance. It is believed that ghee must be consumed on this day as a matter of tradition. Consequently, Singh Sankranti is sometimes referred to as Ghee Sankranti in various locales. According to religious beliefs, those who do not consume cow's ghee on this day are said to be reborn as snails in their subsequent lives. Ingesting ghee during Surya Sankranti is believed to enhance energy, acuity, memory, and intelligence. The positive effects extend to avoiding the malefic influences of Rahu and Ketu. Hence, the consumption of ghee on this auspicious day is advocated for its manifold benefits.
