In the Sanatan culture, Makar Sankranti is regarded as a great festival of charity and virtue. This festival marks the Sun’s transition into Uttarayan. According to the scriptures, the Uttarayan period is considered the time of the gods, and virtuous deeds performed during this phase yield everlasting spiritual rewards. Makar Sankranti is an ideal occasion for self-purification, compassion, and service. Worship of the Sun God, holy bathing, meditation, austerity, and charity on this sacred day bring happiness, peace, and prosperity into one’s life.

The scriptures proclaim that Annadaan (donation of food) is the greatest form of charity. Charity performed on Makar Sankranti multiplies in merit. It is believed that even a small act of giving on this day purifies one’s karma and leads the soul toward virtue and liberation. Donating food prepared with sesame seeds and jaggery is especially considered auspicious, bringing peace and prosperity. In the Sanatan tradition, offering food on this holy day is regarded as the highest service, as feeding the hungry is equal to serving Lord Narayan Himself.
On this sacred and meritorious occasion of Makar Sankranti, Narayan Seva Sansthan is organising a special food service for the poor, needy, and differently-abled children, with the aim of serving sweet and delicious meals to nearly 5,000 children. On this holy festival, you too can join this noble cause on behalf of your family and become a part of this sacred service of Annadaan, earning spiritual merit and blessings.
