**New Delhi, January 10, 2024** – Makar Sankranti, a significant Hindu festival falling on January 14th this year, is considered an auspicious day for worshipping the Sun God, Suryadev. Celebrated differently across India, the festival emphasizes ritualistic bathing, charity, and prayer.

According to astrologer Pandit Ramakant Mishra, chanting specific mantras while offering water (Arghya) to Suryadev on Makar Sankranti can enhance one’s chances of success. The Sun God’s entry into the Capricorn zodiac sign marks the beginning of the festival at 9:03 AM on January 14th.

Pandit Mishra recommends chanting the following mantras:

* ॐ सूर्याय आदित्याय श्री महादेवाय नमः
* नमस्कारं च देवेशं लोकनाथं जगतां पतिं।सूर्यमस्तकं बध्यं ब्राह्मणं बद्धमाश्रयेत्॥

These mantras, combined with a ritual bath in a sacred river and the offering of water to Suryadev, are believed to strengthen the Sun’s position in one’s horoscope, thereby promoting success in endeavors. The festival is also considered a celebration of the arrival of the new harvest and offers spiritual, physical, and mental rejuvenation.
