Importance of Dhanu Sankranti
This festival has religious and astronomical significance. This is a good time to pray to Surya Dev – the Sun god to worship him for health, wealth and well-being. Some of these are taken in the rivers for baptism, praying and giving out alms. For that, such actions are considered to cleanse one’s soul and help receive divine favors.
