The festival of Makar Sankranti is celebrated on 14 January this year. The festival of Lohri is celebrated just one day before this festival i.e. January 13. Lohri is a very big festival of Haryana and Punjab and it is especially celebrated by the farmers. This festival is also celebrated in other states of India with great pomp. It is believed that the night of Lohri is the last longest night of winter and from then onwards the night starts gradually becoming shorter. After this festival, the day starts getting bigger and with this, the effect of autumn also starts to decrease. Today we are going to tell you the reason why it happens.

It is believed that the next day of Lohri is the festival of Makar Sankranti. On the day of Makar Sankranti, Lord Sun enters Capricorn from Sagittarius and starts moving from Southern Hemisphere to Northern Hemisphere. In the astrologer language, it is said that the sun is from Uttarayan to Dakshinayana. It is said that the sun starts moving towards north from the day of Makar Sankranti and from this the length of the day starts to increase gradually and then the night starts to shorten.

After that, on March 21, the sun becomes central, and at that time both day and night are the same. This view is called Equinox in scientific language. Finally, as the sun moves towards the northern hemisphere, the day gets bigger and the night gets shorter and the whole process ends on 21 June. 21 June is the longest day.
