There are twelve Sankrantis in a year, each one representing the Sun’s entry into a new zodiac sign. Among these, Vrishabha Sankranti holds spiritual importance for dan-punya (charity and virtuous deeds). Devotees believe that performing religious activities during this time brings prosperity, peace, and spiritual merit.
Auspicious Time for Rituals
For Vrishabha Sankranti, the sixteen Ghatis (approximately 6 hours and 24 minutes) before the Sankranti moment are considered Shubh (auspicious). This time window is ideal for carrying out sacred rituals like charity (daan), bathing in holy rivers, and worshipping deities.
One of the most sacred acts on this day is Godan, or the donation of a cow. In Hindu tradition, gifting a cow during Sankranti is believed to cleanse sins and bring immense spiritual rewards.
