Makar Sankranti is the day when the Sun transits zodiac Capricorn thereby marking the onset of spring season. This has great significance and holds a religious fervour.
The Vedas describe the Sun as the primordial cause of the whole universe. The word Aditya is coined from the term Aditi, mother of Adityas. The Bhagavata Purana lists 12 Adityas as twelve Sun gods. So, there are 12 for each of the lunar months of the Tamil calendar. And in each year, it’s a different sun that shines. The names of the 12 Adityas are Aryaman, Mitra, Varuna, Indra, Vivasvan, Tvashtha, Vishnu, Anshuman, Bhaga, Pusha, Parjanja, Dhata. And the months they rule respectively are from mid April-mid May to mid March-mid April taking the lunar months into consideration. Makara Sankranti also marks the end of winter solstice and it’s a time when the sun transits from Tropic of Cancer to Tropic of Capricorn i.e. from Dakshinayana to Uttarayana, thereby signifying the onset of harvest season.
Mitra grants knowledge, harmony, integrity and represents friendship, truth and justice.
Varuna represents wisdom, punishes, controls sea, and is a tireless worker.
Bhaga signifies vitality, force, work power and clarity.
Aryaman represents determination, belief and perseverance.
Amshuman dispels darkness, protects intellectuals, grants excellence and equity.
Indra vanquishes enemies, protects, controls senses and is a teacher.
Pushya grants good business, cattle wealth, journeys, trap etc.
Tvashtha confers skill, creative intelligence, innovator and is a diplomat.
Vivasvan gives effulgence, service, work ethic and spiritual upliftment.
Dhata blesses with creative ability, knowledge, leadership qualities and changes order.
Vishnu annihilates foes, protects universe and grants Moksha.
Parjanya transforms you, gives knowledge, purifies, bestows secret skills.
The word Makara means Capricorn, and Sankranti signifies the movement of Sun from one zodiac to another. Therefore, on Makara Sankranti, the Sun moves into the zodiac Capricorn. It marks the onset of summer and on this day the day and night are equally long. The festival of Pongal is celebrated on this day and the Sun due to its important role in the forth coming season, it is glorified and worshipped.
Performing the Dwadasa Aditya homa to the above Adityas blesses one with surplus glory and removes all sorrows. The 12 forms of Adityas are responsible for nourishment and all materials needs for creation and sustenance. The ritual also ensures motivation, surplus glory and happiness. It sharpens the creative skills of a person and improves their thinking powers. Since the basic form of life originates from the Sun, one is excessively blessed with all material needs and desires.
