Karka Saṅkrānti

The Sun enters Karka

Wednesday, 16 July 2014

The Sun crosses at 9:52 PM, your local time

The Sun reaches its northern limit and turns south: Dakṣiṇāyana begins, the half-year held to be the "night of the gods." It is the counterpart of Makara Saṅkrānti and the start of the monsoon-season reckoning.

What is done, Kept with charity and the remembrance of ancestors (tarpaṇa); a turning-point for vows and the cāturmāsya season.
