As we know, traditionally Makar Sankranti has been celebrated on Jan 14 of each year. But because of the distances that our celestial bodies have traversed over these past several thousands of years, the exact calculation of when Sun enters the zodiac (rashi) of Makar (Capricorn) is now changing.
This year and going forward, depending on where you are living in the world, the exact day on which you celebrate Makar Sankranti would vary from the traditional Jan 14th.
For e.g. This year, residents from several countries like India and further east like Australia & New Zealand are celebrating Makar Sankranti on Jan 15th.
As always, when it comes to timing such cosmic events, it is best to refer to your local Panchang.
