Tulā Saṅkrānti

The Sun enters Tulā

Monday, 17 October 2022

The Sun crosses at 7:22 PM, your local time

The Sun enters Tulā (Libra), where day and night stand in balance. Kept as Tulā Saṅkrānti, and as Kati Bihu in Assam, a quieter festival of lamps in the fields and prayers for the ripening crop.

What is done, A bath in sacred water, the Tulā-snāna in the Kāverī is especially honoured, and charity.
