Kanya Sankranti: Importance, Puja Vidhi And Astrological Effects

According to the Hindu calendar, when the Sun enters Virgo from Leo, that day is called Kanya Sankranti. This Sankranti usually falls at the junction of Bhadrapada and Ashwin months. It is a religious belief that special virtue is attained by giving charity, bathing and Surya Pooja on this day. Kanya Sankranti is also considered to be related to Pitru Paksha, so the importance of Shradh, Tarpan and donation for ancestors increases even more at this time.

Religious activities of Kanya Sankranti

• In the morning, take a bath in the holy river and offer water to the Sun God.
• Donate food, clothes and grains to the poor and needy.
• Perform Shradh and Tarpan for the peace of ancestors.
• Chant Surya Mantras and light a lamp in the house.

Astrological significance

The entry of the Sun in Virgo strengthens intelligence, knowledge and analytical ability. This time is considered auspicious for education, job and health improvement. Virgo is an earth sign, so stability and karma increases during this period. Kanya Sankranti is important not only from religious point of view but also from astrological point of view. Observing this day brings prosperity and ancestral blessings in one's life.
